Overview
Abaqa ibn Hulagu, the second Ilkhan of the Hulaguid house in Iraq, son of Hulagu and ruler of the Ilkhanate. He succeeded his father in 663 AH. In 680 AH he marched toward al-Sham in coordination with Mengü-Temür, ruler of the Dasht in the north, and camped near Hama with his brother Mengü-Temür. Al-Mansur Qalawun met them near Homs and gained the upper hand; many of them were killed and others were taken prisoner, and Abaqa returned defeated to his lands. 1
The year of his death is not documented in the museum's data. It is likely around 680 AH, and an additional source is needed.
