A historian looking to locate a primary source with a negative depiction of the effects of the Mongol Empire in Europe would likely study Giovanni da Pian del Carpine. He was a Franciscan friar and one of the first Europeans to travel to Mongolia, and his accounts often reflect the concerns and fears of Europeans regarding the Mongol invasions and their impact on Europe.
