The legend was recorded as late as the 16th century and was later a focus of an early romantic poem The Grobnik Field written in 1842 by Dimitrija Demeter for the 600th anniversary of the battle. Legend has it that, in a last-ditch struggle, Croats from all over the region gathered at the field and killed thousands of Mongols, who withdrew, never to return. The Mongols (also called "Tatars") began attacking Europe in the 1220s. They conquered most of Russia and then headed west in the late 1230s. In almost every battle the Christian armies were destroyed and much of Hungary, Poland and the Balkans were laid to waste by Batu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan. It is known that the Mongols overran Zagreb and swept through Lika and Dalmatia, but were unable to take Vinodol. The extent of death and destruction dealt out by the Mongols was compared to an epidemic of the black plague.{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}} Arriving at the Grobnik field, the Mongols encountered a native Croatian army that tried to stop their advantage and invasion. In the battle that followed, the Mongols were destroyed, losing an entire army of 30,000{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}} people led by the notorious army leader Batu Khan. It is said that Grobnik ("field of graves") got its name from the many graves that were built after the battle due to great casualties. It was one of the last battles of the Mongols in Europe, after which they retreated to their homeland in far Asia. There seems to be no certain evidence of the battle uncovered on the battlefield. Many scholars and historians have long doubted and still are arguing if the battle ever took place. Most of them acknowledge that battle didn't occur at all.[1] There has been no physical evidence of a battle uncovered on the supposed battlefield, nor is the battle mentioned in any document from that time.[2] The first accounts about this battle are mentioned in the documents from the 14th century,{{cn|date=April 2017}} but some claim that they were either a hoax or not verifiable. Legend also has it that the Croats also fought off a Turkish invasion at Grobnik field several centuries later by wearing the heads of cows and other animals (see zvončari), scaring the enemy.

Županov says "Taj se mit, doduše, sve manje spominje, jer je povjesničarima poznato da se ta navodna bitka na Grobničkom polju ne spominje ni u jednom povijesnom dokumentu iz toga vremena".
