===Sartaq's embassy=== The Mongol Il-Khan ruler [[Sartaq Khan]], reputed to be a Christian convert, is said to have sent an embassy to the West as early as 1254. It seems however that the embassy was intercepted in Sicily by king [[Manfred of Sicily|Manfred]], who was an ally of the Mamluks and was under attack from a Crusade launched by the Pope to deprive him of his kingdom. The embassy was ultimately sent back to the Levant.<ref>Jackson, p.166</ref>
