In the mid-13th century, Mongol khans from the Ilkhanate sent multiple embassies to European kings, proposing a military alliance against their common enemy—the Mamluks of Egypt and Syria. European monarchs, including Louis IX of France and Edward I of England, entertained these overtures, and for a few decades, a Christian-Mongol pact seemed possible. This episode explores the diplomatic missions, the letters exchanged in Persian and Latin, the cultural misunderstandings, and why the alliance ultimately failed. We discuss key figures like Hulegu, Abaqa, Arghun, and the Nestorian monk Rabban Bar Sauma, who traveled from Persia to Paris and met with the Pope. We also examine the Mongol invasion of Syria in 1260, the Battle of Ain Jalut that halted it, and the missed opportunity that could have reshaped the medieval world. #FrancoMongolAlliance #Ilkhanate #Hulegu #Abaqa #Arghun #RabbanBarSauma #LouisIX #EdwardI #BattleOfAinJalut #Mamluks #Diplomacy #Crusades #NestorianChristianity #MedievalHistory #MongolEmpire #Syria #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
