Summary
In early Ramadan 660 AH the Tatars took Mosul by trickery after a siege of several months. They reassured the people, broke down the wall, and then gave the city to the sword for nine days. They spared its ruler, al-Malik al-Salih Ismaʿil, son of Badr al-Din Lulu, for a few days, then killed him, and killed his son ʿAlaʾ al-Din, the king. With this the house of Lulu ended in Mosul after about forty years 2.
