'''Hulagu Khan''', also known as '''Hülegü''' or '''Hulegu''' ({{lang-mn|Хүлэгү/ᠬᠦᠯᠡᠭᠦ|translit=Khülegü/Qülegü}}; {{lang-chg|ہلاکو}}; {{lang-fa|هولاکو خان}}; {{zh|c=旭烈兀|s=|t=|p=Xùlièwù}}; {{nowrap|c. 1218 –}} 8 February 1265), was a [[Mongols|Mongol]] ruler who conquered much of [[Western Asia]]. Son of [[Tolui]] and the [[Keraites|Keraite]] princess [[Sorghaghtani Beki]], he was a grandson of [[Genghis Khan]] and brother of [[Ariq Böke]], [[Möngke Khan]], and [[Kublai Khan]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu's army greatly expanded the southwestern portion of the [[Mongol Empire]], founding the [[Ilkhanate]] of [[Iran|Persia]], a precursor to the eventual [[Safavid dynasty]], and then the modern state of [[Iran]]. Under Hulagu's leadership, the [[siege of Baghdad (1258)]] destroyed the greatest center of Islamic power and also weakened [[Damascus]], causing a shift of Islamic influence to the [[Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo)|Mamluk Sultanate]] in [[Cairo]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Campaignbox Mongol invasions}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu was born to [[Tolui]], one of Genghis Khan's sons, and [[Sorghaghtani Beki]], an influential [[Keraites|Keraite]] princess. Sorghaghtani successfully navigated Mongol politics, arranging for all of her sons to become Mongol leaders. She was a [[Christian]] of the [[Church of the East]] (often referred to as &amp;quot;Nestorianism&amp;quot;) and Hulagu was friendly to [[Christianity]]. Hulagu's favorite wife, [[Doquz Khatun]], was also a Christian, as was his closest friend and general, [[Kitbuqa]]. It is recorded however that he converted to [[Buddhism|Buddhism]] as he neared death,{{sfn|Hildinger|1997|p=148}} against the will of Doquz Khatun.{{sfn|Jackson|2014|p=176}} The erection of a Buddhist temple at Ḵoy testifies his interest in that religion.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{iranica|hulagu-khan|Hulāgu Khan}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu had at least three children: [[Abaqa Khan]], [[Tekuder]], and Taraqai. Abaqa was second [[Ilkhanate|Ilkhan]] of [[Greater Iran|Iran]] from 1265–82, Teguder Ahmad was third Ilkhan from 1282–84, and Taraqai's son [[Baydu]] became Ilkhan in 1295.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;David Morgan, ''The Mongols'', p. 225&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Mīr-Khvānd]] mentions two more children, given as Hyaxemet and Tandon in an early translation; Hyaxemet initially served as governor of [[Armenia]] and [[Azerbaijan]], while Tandon was given [[Diyarbakır]] and [[Iraq]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Stevens, John. ''The history of Persia. Containing, the lives and memorable actions of its kings from the first erecting of that monarchy to this time; an exact Description of all its Dominions; a curious Account of India, China, Tartary, Kermon, Arabia, Nixabur, and the Islands of Ceylon and Timor; as also of all Cities occasionally mention'd, as Schiras, Samarkand, Bokara, &amp;amp;c. Manners and Customs of those People, Persian Worshippers of Fire; Plants, Beasts, Product, and Trade. With many instructive and pleasant digressions, being remarkable Stories or Passages, occasionally occurring, as Strange Burials; Burning of the Dead; Liquors of several Countries; Hunting; Fishing; Practice of Physick; famous Physicians in the East; Actions of Tamerlan, &amp;amp;c.

His daughter-in-law, [[Absh Khatun]], was sent to [[Shiraz]] to reign in 1263.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|author=Women’s Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality|title=Absh Khatun|url=http://www.wisemuslimwomen.org/muslimwomen/bio/absh_khatun/|accessdate=6 May 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Military campaigns ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Prise d'Alamût (1256).jpeg|thumb|The siege of Alamût in 1256]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khulug Khan's sige of Alamut.jpg|thumb |A [[Mughal painting]] of Hulagu's siege of [[Alamut]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu's brother [[Möngke Khan]] had been installed as Great Khan in 1251. In 1255, Möngke charged Hulagu with leading a massive Mongol army to conquer or destroy the remaining Muslim states in southwestern Asia. Hulagu's campaign sought the subjugation of the [[Lurs]] of southern Iran, the destruction of the [[Assassins]], the submission or destruction of the [[Abbasid Caliphate]] in [[Baghdad]], the submission or destruction of the [[Ayyubid dynasty|Ayyubid states]] in [[Syria]] based in [[Damascus]], and finally, the submission or destruction of the [[Bahri dynasty|Bahri]] [[Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo)|Mamluke Sultanate]] of Egypt.&amp;lt;ref name= Amitai-Preiss &amp;gt;Amitai-Preiss, Reuven. ''The Mamluk-Ilkhanid War''&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Möngke ordered Hulagu to treat kindly those who submitted and utterly destroy those who did not. Hulagu vigorously carried out the latter part of these instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu marched out with perhaps the largest Mongol army ever assembled – by order of Möngke, two-tenths of the empire's fighting men were gathered for Hulagu's army.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Saunders 1971&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He easily destroyed the Lurs, and the Assassins surrendered their impregnable fortress of [[Alamut]] without a fight, accepting a deal that spared the lives of their people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Siege of Baghdad ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main article|Siege of Baghdad (1258)}}&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu's Mongol army set out for Baghdad in November 1257. Once near the city he divided his forces to threaten the city on both the east and west banks of the Tigris. Hulagu demanded surrender, but the caliph, [[Al-Musta'sim]], refused. The caliph's army repulsed some of the forces attacking from the west but were defeated in the next battle. The attacking Mongols broke dikes and flooded the ground behind the caliph's army, trapping them. Much of the army was slaughtered or drowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mongols under Chinese general [[Guo Kan]] laid siege to the city on January 29, 1258,&amp;lt;ref name=WDL1&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Six Essays from the Book of Commentaries on Euclid|url=http://www.wdl.org/en/item/7465|publisher=[[World Digital Library]]|accessdate=21 March 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; constructing a palisade and a ditch and wheeling up siege engines and catapults. The battle was short by siege standards. By February 5 the Mongols controlled a stretch of the wall. The caliph tried to negotiate but was refused. On February 10 Baghdad surrendered. The Mongols swept into the city on February 13 and began a week of destruction. The [[House of Wisdom|Grand Library of Baghdad]], containing countless precious historical documents and books on subjects ranging from medicine to astronomy, was destroyed. Survivors said that the waters of the [[Tigris]] ran black with ink from the enormous quantity of books flung into the river. Citizens attempted to flee but were intercepted by Mongol soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:HulaguInBagdad.JPG|thumb|left|Hulagu (left) imprisons the Caliph among his treasures to starve him to death. Medieval depiction from &amp;quot;Le livre des merveilles&amp;quot;, 15th century.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Death counts vary widely and cannot be easily substantiated: A low estimate is about 90,000 dead;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Sicker 2000, p.&amp;amp;nbsp;111.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; higher estimates range from 200,000 to a million.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2005/04/25/050425fa_fact4?currentPage=all New Yorker, April 25, 2005, Ian Frazier, &amp;quot;Invaders - Destroying Baghdad&amp;quot;]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Mongols looted and then destroyed. Mosques, palaces, libraries, hospitals — grand buildings that had been the work of generations — were burned to the ground. The caliph was captured and forced to watch as his citizens were murdered and his treasury plundered. ''[[The Travels of Marco Polo|Il Milione]]'', a book on the travels of [[Republic of Venice|Venetian]] merchant [[Marco Polo]], states that Hulagu starved the caliph to death, but there is no corroborating evidence for that. Most historians believe the Mongol and Muslim accounts that the caliph was rolled up in a rug and the Mongols rode their horses over him, as they believed that the earth would be offended if touched by royal blood. All but one of his sons were killed. Baghdad was a depopulated, ruined city for several centuries. Smaller states in the region hastened to reassure Hulagu of their loyalty, and the Mongols turned to [[Syria]] in 1259, conquering the Ayyubid dynasty and sending advance patrols as far ahead as [[Gaza City|Gaza]].&lt;br /&gt;

A thousand squads of northern Chinese sappers accompanied the Mongol Khan Hulagu during his conquest of the Middle East.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |url={{Google books |plainurl=yes |id=H-k9oc9xsuAC |page=510 }} |title=Medieval Islamic Civilization: An Encyclopedia |author=Josef W.

== Conquest of Syria (1260) ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{see also|Mongol raids into Palestine}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Hulagu and Doquz-Qatun in Syriac Bible.jpg|thumb|Hulagu and Queen Doquz Qatun depicted as the new [[Constantine the Great|Constantine]] and [[Helena (empress)|Helen]] in a [[Syriac language|Syriac]] bible.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Angold 387&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;In May 1260, a Syrian painter gave a new twist to the iconography of the Exaltation of the Cross by showing Constantine and Helena with the features of Hulagu and his Christian wife Doquz Khatun&amp;quot; in ''Cambridge History of Christianity'' Vol. 5 Michael Angold p.387 [[Cambridge University Press]] ISBN 0-521-81113-9&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''Le Monde de la Bible'' N.184 July–August 2008, p.43&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1260 Mongol forces combined with those of their Christian vassals in the region, including the army of the [[Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia]] under [[Hethum I, King of Armenia]] and the Franks of [[Bohemond VI of Antioch]].  This force conquered Muslim Syria, a domain of the Ayyubid dynasty. They captured Aleppo by [[Siege of Aleppo (1260)|siege]] and, under the Christian general [[Kitbuqa]], seized [[Damascus]] on March 1, 1260.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/200704/history.s.hinge.ain.jalut.htm Saudi Aramco World &amp;quot;The Battle of Ain Jalut&amp;quot;]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Grousset, p.581&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=runciman-307&amp;gt;&amp;quot;On 1 March Kitbuqa entered Damascus at the head of a Mongol army estimated at more than 300,000 strong. With him were the King of Armenia and the Prince of Antioch. The citizens of the ancient capital of the Caliphate saw for the first time for six centuries three Christian potentates ride in triumph through their streets&amp;quot;, {{harv|Runciman|1987|p=307}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A Christian Mass was celebrated in the [[Umayyad Mosque]] and numerous mosques were profaned. Many historical accounts describe the three Christian rulers Hetoum, Bohemond, and Kitbuqa entering the city of Damascus together in triumph,&amp;lt;ref name=runciman-307/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Grousset, p.588&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; though some modern historians such as [[David Morgan (historian)|David Morgan]] have questioned this story as apocryphal.{{sfn|Jackson|2014}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The invasion effectively destroyed the Ayyubids, which was until then a powerful dynasty that had ruled large parts of the [[Levant]], [[Egypt]], and the [[Arabian Peninsula]]. The last Ayyubid king, [[An-Nasir Yusuf]], was killed by Hulagu in 1260.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Atlas des Croisades, p.108&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; With the Islamic power center of Baghdad gone and Damascus weakened, the center of Islamic power shifted to the Mamluk Sultans' capital of Cairo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu intended to continue southward through [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] towards Cairo to fight the Mamluks. He sent a threatening letter to the Mamluk Sultan Qutuz in Cairo. He demanded that Qutuz open Cairo or it would be destroyed like Baghdad. At that moment Mongke Khan died, so Hulagu, as an heir and potential Great Khan, was obliged to return to Mongolia for the election of a new Khan. Hulagu left behind only two tumens (20,000 men) under the leadership of his favorite general Naiman Kitbuqa Noyan, a Nestorian Christian. Upon receiving news of Hulagu's departure, Qutuz quickly assembled a large army at Cairo and invaded Palestine.  Qutuz allied himself with a fellow Mamluk, [[Baibars]], who wanted to avenge Islam for the Mongols' capture of Damascus, their looting of Baghdad and their conquest of Syria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mongols, for their part, attempted to form a Frankish-Mongol alliance with (or at least, demand the submission of) the remnant of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, now centered on Acre, but Pope Alexander IV had forbidden such an alliance. Tensions between Franks and Mongols also increased when Julian of Sidon caused an incident resulting in the death of one of Kitbuqa's grandsons. Angered, Kitbuqa had sacked Sidon. The Barons of Acre, contacted by the Mongols, had also been approached by the Mamluks, seeking military assistance against the Mongols. Although the Mamluks were traditional enemies of the Franks, the Barons of Acre recognized the Mongols as the more immediate menace. Instead of taking sides, the Crusaders opted for a position of cautious neutrality between the two forces. In an unusual move, however, they allowed the Egyptian Mamluks to march northward without hindrance through Crusader territory and even let them camp near Acre to resupply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Battle of Ain Jalut===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main article|Battle of Ain Jalut}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Hülegü et son armée.jpeg|thumb|left|Hulagu Khan leading his army.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When news arrived that the Mongols had crossed the Jordan River in 1260, Sultan Qutuz and his forces mainly Egyptians proceeded southeast toward the 'Spring Of Goliath' at Ain Jalut in the Jezreel Valley. They met the Mongol army of about 20,000 in the [[Battle of Ain Jalut]] and fought relentlessly for many hours. The Mamluk leader Baibars mostly implemented hit-and-run tactics in an attempt to lure the Mongol forces into chasing him.  Baibars and Qutuz had hidden the bulk of their forces in the hills to wait in ambush for the Mongols to come into range. The Mongol leader Kitbuqa, already provoked by the constant fleeing of Baibars and his troops, decided to march forwards with all his troops on the trail of the fleeing Egyptians. When the Mongols reached the highlands, Egyptians appeared from hiding, and the Mongols found themselves surrounded by enemy forces as the hidden troops hit them from the sides and Qutuz attacked the Mongol rear. Estimates of the size of the Egyptian army range from 24,000 to 120,000. The Mongols broke free of the trap and even mounted a temporarily successful counterattack, but their numbers had been depleted to the point that the outcome was inevitable. When the battle finally ended, the Egyptian army had accomplished what had never been done before, defeating a Mongol army in close combat. Almost the whole Mongol army that had remained in the region, including Kitbuqa, were either killed or captured that day. The battle of Ain Jalut established a low-water mark for the Mongol conquest. The Mongol invasion east and south came to a stop after Ain Jalut.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Civil War ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{see also|Berke–Hulagu war}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Hulagu coin.jpg|thumb|Coin of Hulagu, with the symbol of a [[hare]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the succession was settled and his brother [[Kublai Khan]] was established as Great Khan,&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu returned to his lands by 1262. When he massed his armies to attack the Mamluks and avenge the defeat at Ayn Jalut, however, he was instead drawn into civil war with [[Batu Khan]]'s brother [[Berke]]. Berke Khan, a Muslim convert, had promised retribution in his rage after Hulagu's sack of Baghdad and allied himself with the Mamluks. He initiated a series of raids on Hulagu's territories, led by [[Nogai Khan]]. Hulagu suffered a severe defeat in an attempted invasion north of the [[Caucasus]] in 1263.  This was the first open war between Mongols and signaled the end of the unified empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even while Berke was Muslim he was at first desisting from the idea of fighting Hulagu out of Mongol brotherhood, he said ''Mongols are killed by Mongol swords. If we were united, then we would have conquered all of the world.'' but the economic situation of the Golden Horde due to the actions of the Ilkhanate led him to declare jihad because the Ilkhanids were hogging the wealth of North Iran and the Ilkhanate's demands for the Golden Horde to not sell slaves to the Mamluks.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Elverskog2011&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author=Johan Elverskog|title=Buddhism and Islam on the Silk Road|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=N7_4Gr9Q438C&amp;amp;pg=PA186&amp;amp;lpg=PA186#v=onepage&amp;amp;q&amp;amp;f=false|date=6 June 2011|publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press|isbn=0-8122-0531-6|pages=186–}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Communications with Europe ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{see also|Franco-Mongol alliance}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Hulagutamgha.png|thumb|[[Tamga|Temgha]] of Hulagu.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu sent multiple communications to Europe in an attempt to establish a [[Franco-Mongol alliance]] against the Muslims.  In 1262, he sent his secretary [[Rychaldus]] and an embassy to &amp;quot;all kings and princes overseas&amp;quot;. The embassy was apparently intercepted in Sicily by [[Manfred, King of Sicily]], who was allied with the [[Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo)|Mamluk Sultanate]] and in conflict with [[Pope Urban IV]], and Rychaldus was returned by ship.{{sfn|Jackson|2014|p=173}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 10, 1262, Hulagu sent a letter, through [[Exultavit cor nostrum#John the Hungarian|John the Hungarian]], to [[Louis IX of France]], offering an alliance.{{sfn|Jackson|2014|p=178}} It is unclear whether the letter ever reached Louis IX in Paris — the only manuscript known to have survived was in [[Vienna]], Austria.{{sfn|Jackson|2014|p=166}} The letter stated Hulagu's intention to capture Jerusalem for the benefit of the Pope and asked for Louis to send a fleet against Egypt:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quote|From the head of the Mongol army, anxious to devastate the perfidious nation of the Saracens, with the good-will support of the Christian faith (...) so that you, who are the rulers of the coasts on the other side of the sea, endeavor to deny a refuge for the Infidels, your enemies and ours, by having your subjects diligently patrol the seas.|Letter from Hulagu to Saint Louis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Letter from Hulagu to Saint Louis, quoted in ''Les Croisades'', Thierry Delcourt, p.151&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite many attempts, neither Hulagu nor his successors were able to form an alliance with Europe, although Mongol culture in the West was in vogue in the 13th century. Many new-born children in Italy were named after Mongol rulers, including Hulagu: names such as Can Grande (&amp;quot;Great Khan&amp;quot;), Alaone (Hulagu), Argone ([[Arghun]]), and Cassano ([[Ghazan]]) are recorded.{{sfn|Jackson|2014|p=315}}&lt;br /&gt;

== Death ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Funérailles de Hülegü.jpeg|thumb|The funeral of Hulagu Khan.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu Khan died in 1265 and was buried on [[Shahi Island]] in [[Lake Urmia]]. His funeral was the only Ilkhanate funeral to feature [[human sacrifice]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Morgan, p. 139&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He was succeeded by his son [[Abaqa Khan]], thus establishing his line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hulagu Khan laid the foundations of the [[Ilkhanate]] and thus paved the way for the later [[Safavid dynasty|Safavid dynastic]] state, and ultimately the modern country of [[Iran]]. Hulagu's conquests also opened Iran to both European influence from the west and Chinese influence from the east. This, combined with patronage from his successors, would develop Iran's distinctive excellence in architecture.
