What if Andrew II of Hungary didn't expell the Teutonic Knights in 1224?
In 1223, his son took back his wife seperated from him due his orders and escaped to Austria fearing of his father's anger.
Let's say that Bela gets support from Teutonic Knights and kills his father(through whatever means), having them as support base he allows them to continue their presence.

What are the consequences for the Europe?
How will Teutonic Knights stand against Mongol invasion of Hungary in 1241?

 
Teutonic knights staying in Hungary is a very good topic. It comes up here at times.


Even in Hungary the Knights had large privileges approved by the Pope.
So if they stay, their presence will undermine much of if not the whole Hungarian kingdom.
However, that will still be something else than their State in the Baltics.
For starters, they would have a Christian majority in their territories from the very beginning.
