# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in February 1234, son of Hulagu Khan and Lady Yesünčin, grandson of Tolui. He took the Ilkhanate throne in 1265 after his father's death. His reign became a grinding series of wars within the splintering Mongol Empire: the Golden Horde pressed from the north, the Chagatai Khanate from Central Asia. He also pushed west into Mamluk-held Syria, where his forces met defeat at the Second Battle of Homs. He died in April 1282, succeeded by his brother Ahmed Tekuder, the empire still at war with itself.
