Abaqa Khan was the second ruler of the Mongol Ilkhanate, reigning from 1265 to 1282 as successor of his father Hulagu. He fought the Golden Horde, the Chagatai Khanate and the Mamluks of Egypt, and sought alliances with Christian Europe. After the Mamluk sultan Baybars invaded Seljuk Anatolia in 1277, he executed the minister known as the Pervane and imposed direct Mongol control.
