Abu Said dies; Ilkhanate disintegrates
1335
The last great Ilkhan of Persia died without an heir at thirty. The Mongol state Hulagu had founded in 1256 fragmented into a dozen successor warlordships from Anatolia to Khorasan, each claiming scraps of the old empire's legitimacy. Persian commerce and learning suffered, but Persian culture would soon find new patrons in Timur's Samarkand.
