Second ruler of the Ilkhanate, the Mongol state carved from Persia and Mesopotamia, who spent most of his seventeen years fighting other Mongols — the Golden Horde to the north, the Chagatai Khanate to the east — while trying and failing to take Syria from the Mamluks.
About
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.
