Answer 1

A historian looking for a primary source with a negative depiction of the effects of the Mongol Empire in Europe would most likely study Giovanni da Pian del Carpine. He was a Franciscan friar who traveled to the Mongol Empire in the 13th century and wrote accounts that reflected European fears and negative perceptions of the Mongols.
