Arghun ruled the Ilkhanate from 1284 to 1291, inheriting both his father Abaqa's throne and his Buddhist faith in a realm surrounded by Muslim powers. He dispatched multiple envoys across thousands of miles to European courts, hoping to arrange a joint strike against the Mamluks in the Levant; none of the proposed alliances materialized. Around the same time he asked his great-uncle Kublai Khan to send him a wife, and the young Kököchin set out with an escort that included, by some accounts, Marco Polo. Arghun died on 10 March 1291, before she reached Persia. His son Ghazan married her in his place.
