They were too busy hiding out after the ass-kickings.

I’m Hungarian as well. My parents came to the US in 1956, during the revolution.

Unfortunately, I dont speak Hungarian. Here it is in German:
Einsamer Sonntag--The Spree-Revelers (1936)
And English:
Gloomy Sunday--Hal Kemp (1936)

Tomorrow will likely be a gloomy Sunday out here—at least in the AM.

Proof that the hordes made it to Hungary.......
Penny: Okay, just tell me, is it too soon to join a quest to the Black Castle?
Sheldon: You were invited on a quest to the Black Castle?
Penny: Yeah, yeah, by some guys in Budapest, Im just not sure its the right move for my character.
Sheldon: Of course its not, youre only a level 25, the Hungarians are just using you for dragon fodder.
Penny: Really? Boy, youd think you could trust a horde of Hungarian barbarians.

I had read that upon the father’s death, his 4 sons became less able to coordinate an effective policy. It must have been even harder for grandsons. In addition to marshy land in Hungary, isn’t there a fairly large marsh called the Pripit Marsh in Poland? If they had to retreat to decide on a new ruler, perhaps the fact the Kublai Khan another relative was ruler in China may have made moving back there more sensible.

The mongols left because they couldn't take Hungary’s walled cities. About 20 years later the mongols tried again. They where trashed by the Hungarians and never returned.

Most Hungarians are immigrants brought in to repopulate the country after the mongols killed 2/3s the population.
