editIn September 1237 the Mongols invaded Moksha kingdom Moxel[2]). Puresh became a vassal of Batu Khan and joined Mongol army in the European campaign. Puresh's warriors became the vanguard of the Mongol army and took part in the seizure of Kiev, Sandomierz and Zawichost.[3]
Massacre before Battle of Legnica
editPuresh secretly met with the High Duke of Poland, Henry II the Pious, on 8 April 1241, one day before the Battle of Legnica, and they agreed that the Moksha army would join the Silesia and Greater Poland. Subutai uncovered the plot. Puresh, his son Atämaz and many Moksha warriors were killed while sleeping after midnight on 9 April 1241.[4]
