At the start of his reign, the Cumans (or Kipchaks), a Turkish people, followed a Shamanist religion, but, in 1238 , Kuthen led his tribes into Hungary in flight from the advancing Mongol hordes. In return for their alliance and conversion to Christianity , Bela IV Of Hungary granted them asylum. Kuthen was baptised and his daughter Elisabeth married Bela's son, the future Stephen V Of Hungary . The Hungarian nobles, however, distrusted the Cumans and just prior to the disastrous Mongol invasion which led to the route of Mohi , they had Kuthen assassinated in Pest . Kuthen left another daughter who married Narjot III De Toucy . |
