    		Under Ogodei, they conquered Moscow and Kiev - and held them. They conquered Hungary after quite a struggle, and headed for Vienna. They withdrew from that part of Europe, because of the death of Ogodei. http://www.fsmitha.com/h3/h11mon.htm

    		The Mongols reached as far as the Adriatic coast in today's Croatia (then Hungary) in their attempt to invade Hungary in 1241-42.
    This is further west than Vienna.
    However, I don't know if they ever 'ruled' any of the Hungarian cities during this campaign.
    It might be a question of definition.

    		The westernmost point reached by the Mongols during their campaign in 1241 was agctually Legnica in today' s Poland (The Battle of Liegnitz).
    However, the question asked for the westernmost settlement more or less permanently ruled by the Mongols.

    		This map shows the territory ruled by the Golden Horde. This territory was permanently settled, and the Mongols held much of the territory for almost 200 years. Their capital was Sarai, on the Volga river.
    The westernmost settlement permanently ruled by the Golden Horde might be somewhere just west of the Crimea peninsula.

    		The settlement I ask for might have been located somewhere within the Crimean Khanate, a territory ruled by descendants of the Mongols until 1783.

    		The westernmost major city within the Crimean Khanate was Kezlev (today: Eupatoria). But I don't thin even this is the final answer to the question.
