The fall of al-Mughith, lord of Karak

The "Shadharat al-Dhahab" relates that al-Zahir Baybars went out to Syria and tricked the lord of Karak, the king al-Mughith, until he came down to him, and that this was the last time he was seen. ¹

Ibn al-Imad says that al-Mughith had written to Hulagu agreeing that he would take Egypt for him, and had asked him for twenty thousand horsemen. Baybars brought out his letters in Egypt and read them to the scholars, who ruled that such a man should not be spared. ¹

The data does not say exactly how al-Mughith's end came about, nor the view of other sources on the accusation. This needs an additional source.

The data dates the event to the early sixties, that is about 662 AH (around 1263 CE), a derived and uncertain date. A second source is needed. ¹
