You could move to the Iberian Peninsula. Its in the right-mid section of Europe which is an easily defendable area. From there you can expand to upwards to france, downwards to Morroco, or sail forward to Italy. Also its far far far away from the Mongols which are nothing compared to the Timurids that come later on. Downside is that its a long trip to the Holyland.
