Idea literally just popped into my head...
Given the massive success of the Mongols when battling..pretty much everywhere..Was it plausible that one of the major European kingdoms of the 13th, 14th or 15th century couldve made an overture to the closest Khanate (Golden Horde perhaps?) to hire one of the elite battalions as a uber-Merc band for a major war?

For instance, maybe a German prince hires one to help one of the sides during the 30 years war, or possibly a Venitian Doge to help during the 3rd or 4th crusade?

Or maybe the Byzantines could use them to help take back Anatolia from the turks?
