Overview
Arghun Khan, lord of Iraq, Khurasan and Azerbaijan; he ruled after his uncle al-Malik Ahmad (Tekuder) — a formidable, daring man of fierce onslaught, a shedder of blood of immense might. 1
His death
He perished in 690; it is said he was poisoned, and the Mongols accused his vizier Sa'd al-Dawla the Jew of killing him — so they fell upon the Jews with killing, plunder and captivity. 1
