al-Musta'sim
1213 CE–1258 CE · Baghdad
Al-Musta'sim (1213–1258) was the thirty-seventh and last Abbasid caliph of Baghdad, ruling from 1242 to 1258. His government failed to mount an effective defense against the advancing Mongols under Hulagu Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan. Baghdad was besieged and sacked in 1258, and al-Musta'sim was put to death, ending the Abbasid caliphate based in the city.
