He attended the coronation of Guyuk (Kiyou) and stayed there until November, then returned home with a letter from Guyuk to the Pope, arriving in Kiev on June 9, 1247. Shortly after his return, he was appointed Archbishop of Antibari. He compiled what he saw and heard during this trip in Historia Mongalorum quos nos Tartaros appellamus (abbreviated Historia) and Liber Tartarorum (also known as Tatarorum) (1245-47).
