I looked it up and apparently the up to half of the population dying was in part due to war-related hardships like epidemics. The Mongols didn't *personally* kill 2 million Hungarians, though I suppose you only said "victims". Anyway, just saying. Onward!<br /><br />1. Egypt, or so eu4 would have me believe.<br />2. Uhhh...poison, eh? Arsenic?<br />3. Sounds like Stockholm.<br />4. Well, from the name I always assumed Florence.<br />5. A plague, no wait--MONGOLS<br />6. Purgatory?<br />7. Gotta be Lisbon.<br />8. Sigh. Mongols. However, what's with the metaphor of wolves or falcons with "loose reins".<br />9. Ertuğruloğlu is an odd name with odd diacritics. Looks Turkish. So, like, the Ottoman dynasty?<br />10. You know, Mongols. Some of them anyway.pflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866574024138674337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-17288816732084682102016-04-12T15:32:50.519-07:002016-04-12T15:32:50.519-07:001 - Turkey
