The sack of Baghdad, also called the siege of Baghdad,[1] was a Mongol led siege followed by the destruction of the Abbasid capital of Baghdad as part of Hülegü Khan's advance towards Masyaf.[2]

After Hülegü took the Assassin fortress of Alamut,[3][4] he continued with his cammpaign westward, attacking other fortresses throughout the Levant, in vengeance of Genghis Khan's murder at the hands of the Levantine Assassin Darim Ibn-La'Ahad and the Mongolian Assassin Qulan Gal, as well as an attempt on his own life.[5] After 13 days of besieging the city,[1] the Mongols destroyed Baghdad, burning its libraries, the House of Wisdom, and killing most of its population, leaving behind only the "young and malleable".[2]
