# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 5 November 1271, Mahmud Ghazan was the son of Arghun and a direct descendant of Genghis Khan through Hulegu. He ruled the Ilkhanate in modern-day Iran from 1295 until his death on 11 May 1304, considered the most prominent of the Ilkhans. One of his principal wives was Kököchin, a Mongol princess originally betrothed to his father but sent by Kublai Khan after Arghun's death. His reign brought military conflict with the Mamluk Sultanate over Syria and battles against the Chagatai Khanate, alongside failed attempts to forge a Franco-Mongol alliance with Europe. A polyglot with wide-ranging interests, Ghazan reformed the Ilkhanate's currency and fiscal systems, leaving a structure more than a conquest.
