A magnificent tradition of splendor and glory, lust and blood surrounded the grandson of Genghis Khan when he was born to Tolui and Princess Sorghaghtani Beki in the sprawling tent city of Karaforum, then capital of the Mongol world. He was named Hulagu and he was destined to strike fear into the hearts of all followers of the Prophet.
Batu and Ogodai, the heirs of the mighty Genghis, overran southern Russia, Armenia and Persia, leaving a wide path of death and destruction in their wake. The Mongol army of Subotai swept into Europe, smashing the power of Hungary at the battle of the Sajó River and then advancing on Vienna.
In 1241, Ogodai died. The people recognized Mangu as Great Khan. Kublai turned his eyes to China and Manchuria. Hulagu glanced covertly at the Middle East and went west to reap the harvest of the decaying caliphs of Baghdad at the head of 100,000 mounted troops.
