description: "The last Khwarazmshah spent seven years as a warlord without a throne — beating back Genghis Khan's generals once, then fleeing across the Indus when the Khan himself came for him, then carving short-lived states from Punjab to Georgia until a Kurdish band killed him in 1231."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Jalal al-Din was raised in Gurganj, the wealthy Khwarazmid capital, and served as his father's second-in-command in battle. When the Mongol conquest drove Ala ad-Din Muhammad II to die on a Caspian island, Jalal al-Din claimed succession despite being a concubine's son and facing a challenge backed by the Queen Mother. He gathered a substantial army at Ghazni and handed Shigi Qutuqu an excellent defeat at the Battle of Parwan, but lost much of his force in a dispute over spoils. Genghis Khan crushed him at the Battle of the Indus; he swam the river and survived as a warlord, holding the Punjab from 1222 to 1224, then northwest Iran and Georgia after 1225. He lacked the political skill to sustain what his sword won, and Mongol pressure and revolts closed in until he was killed on 15 August 1231. The army he left behind terrorized the Levant as the Khwarazmiyya mercenaries until 1246.
