Overview

Mangli, lord of Hamadhan, Isfahan and al-Rayy and the lands of the Jibal between them. He took power after killing his master Aytaghmish. 2

The confrontation

Ibn al-Athir says that the caliphal diwan was hostile to him. The caliph al-Nasir prepared against him a coalition of Uzbek ibn al-Bahlawan and Jalal al-Din the Isma'ili, and an army led by Muzaffar al-Din Kukburi, lord of Irbil. 2

His end

Mangli was defeated and killed while fleeing in Jumada al-Ula 612 AH, roughly September 1215 CE, a date that is derived. His mamluks then took over his lands under Aghlamish. 2
