Summary/Abstract: The study presents the main contemporary sources on two historical periods of Hungary, the time of the Tatar invasion, and the beginning of the 14th century. Our sources on the former are the Carmen miserabile of Rogerius and the Historia Salonitanorum Pontificum atque Spalatensium of Thomas Archidiaconus, while the first decade of the Anjou rule in Hungary is presented in the Anonymi Descriptio Europae Orientalis. The comparative analysis of our sources reveals that the strength and importance of the Hungarian kingdom was not called into question even during its hardest years
