There was also a "great storm" which supported the Japanese in the first Mongol invasion. I don't know if the storm qualified for "kamikaze" but it certainly was a good roll of the dice. Regarding the European knight against the Mongols, the problem as I understand it was ambush, archers and swarming. The multiple European fortresses as strategic knight strongholds would have been another matter for the Mongols.

The storm was called the Kamikaze - lit., "divine wind".
