1260 CE
Hulagu, upon news of the defeat of the Mongol army and the beheading of his general at Ain Jalut, orders the execution of An-Nasir and his brother; An-Nasir is the last Ayyubid king.
Hulagu is unable to take reprisals, as he is preoccupied with an internal struggle for power within the Mongol empire, forcing him and much of his army to return to inner Asia, settling in the settling in the Iranian province of Azerbaijan.
The Mongol empire is thus contained in Iran and Mesopotamia, leaving Egypt secure in Muslim Mamluk hands.
