Lawrence of Portugal was a Franciscan friar and an envoy sent by Pope Innocent IV to the Mongol Empire Mongols in 1245. A letter survives in the Register of Innocent IV, dating Lawrence s departure from Lyon to 5 March 1245. The letter, published in Monumenta Germaniae Historica and usually referred to as Dei patris immensa , suggests that his mission was primarily religious in character. ref Monumenta Germaniae Historica Epistolae Saeculi XIII E Regestis Pontificum Romanorum , ed.

Simon of St Quentin floruit fl. 1245 48 was a Dominican order Dominican friar and diplomat who accompanied Ascelin of Lombardia on an embassy which Pope Innocent IV sent to the Mongol Empire Mongols in 1245. Simon s account of the mission, in its original form, is lost but a large section has been preserved in Vincent of Beauvais Speculum Historiale , where nineteen chapters are expressly said to be ex libello fratris Simonis . The embassy of Ascelin and Simon proceeded to the camp of Baiju at Sitiens in Armenia, lying between the Aras River and Lake Sevan , fifty nine days journey from Akko Acre . The papal letters were translated into Persian language Persian , and thence into Middle Mongolian language Mongolian , and so presented to Baiju but the Tatars were greatly irritated by the haughtiness of the Dominicans, who implied that the pope was superior even to the Genghis Khan Great Khan , and offered no presents, refused the customary reverences before Baiju, declined to go on to the imperial court, and made unseasonable attempts to convert their hosts. The Frankish visitors were accordingly lodged and treated with contempt for nine weeks June and July 1247 all answer to their letters was refused. Thrice Baiju even ordered their death. At last, on July 25, 1247, they were dismissed with the Noyan s reply, dated July 20. This reply complained of the high words of the Latin envoys, and commanded the pope to come in person and submit to the Master of all the Earth the Mongol emperor . The mission thus ended in complete failure but, except for Giovanni da Pian del Carpini Carpini s, it was the earliest Catholic embassy which reached any Mongol court, and its information must have been valuable. It performed something at least of what should have been but apparently was not done by Lawrence of Portugal , who was commissioned as papal envoy to the Mongols of the south west at the same time that Carpini was accredited to those of the north 1245 .

For the leader of the Ilkhanate in the late 1200s, grandson of Hulagu, see Arghun . Arghun Agha , also Arghun Aqa or Arghun the Elder d. 1278 was a Mongol noble of the Oirats Oirat clan in the 13th century. He was a governor in the Mongol controlled area of Persia from 1243 to 1255, before the Ilkhanate was created by Hulagu . ref Grousset, p. 376 ref Arghun Agha was in control of the four districts of eastern and central Persia, as decreed by the great khan M ngke Khan . When he was young, his father sold his son Arghun to Ilugei of the Jalayir , tutor of Ogedei Khan . During his years with the House of Ogedei Ogedeyid family, he gained reputation among the members of the Royal blood because he was well educated. Arghun started his career as court official during the reign of the Qaghan Ogedei. Later on, the latter s consort, Toregene Khatun , appointed him civil governor in Transoxiana in c.1242. Ascelin of Lombardia might have met him while he was at the court of Baiju in c.1247. He is described as faithful servant of the Qaghan in Persia n sources while the Georgia country Georgia n and Armenia n sources say he was cruel and violent overseer. However, one Georgian chronicle mentions he was a friend of equity, trustful in his language, a deep thinker, and profound in counsel. It also says Arghun conducted the empire wide census in Russia , Arctic , Alania , Pontic steppe , Georgia country Georgia , Armenia and Anatolia . ref H.H.Howrth HOM, Mongols in Persia, vol.III. p.68 ref Arghun had many political enemies at the headquarter, so he had to often visit the ordo palace of the Qaghan in Mongolia to prove his loyalty. Although, Mongke appointed him to his former position after his accession in 1252, the Emperor summoned Arghun to answer a charge of treason. The Armenian people Armenian noble, Sempad the Constable , justified Arghun completely and charged his enemy a Khorazm i lieutenant with being the real offender. ref H.H.Howorth, HOM, Mongols in Persia, vol.III ... more details

Baiju was a Mongol commander in History of Iran Mongols.2C Timurids and local governments Persia floruit fl. 1230 1260, also known as Bayju Noyon or Baichu appointed by gedei Khan to succeed Chormagan , and expand Mongol power further in that area. Baiju took over command in 1241 or 1242, and immediately moved against the Seljuk Sultanate of R m , shattering its power at the Battle of K se Dag in 1243. After this battle, the Sultanate became a vassal state of the Mongol empire and was forced to release David VI of Georgia David VI Narin . He installed his protege David Narin to the throne of Georgian Kingdom Georgia to oppose Queen Rusudan of Georgia Rusudan s decision. However, the Mongols had few forces in the area, and were content to maintain their vassals with punitive raids. Baiju led Mongol tumens to raid Syria in 1246 . Despite his small successes there, his next two attempts to invade the Abbasid Caliphate in Iraq met less success in 1238 1246. At the end of the regency following gedei s death, however, Baiju was replaced by the new khan G y k Khan G y k with Eljigidei in 1246, but Eljigidei and his entire family were purged in the accession of M ngke Khan in 1251 or 1252. Under Baiju in the 1240s and 1250s, the Mongols retained their power in what is roughly modern day Iran , and tolerated the independence of the Sultanate, Georgia country Georgia , and petty states in Iran as clients, interfering with dynastic succession and extracting tribute militarily as necessary. However, the Abbasid s in Baghdad and the Hashshashin Assassins in the Elbruz mountains maintained their independence until the coming of Hulegu , M ngke s brother, in 1255. Baiju was supposedly reproached by Hulegu for failing to extend Mongol power further, and, indeed, was replaced by him as supreme commander as early as 1255 ... more details
