Letter from Güyük Khan to Pope Innocent IV // 1246 Mongol Primary Source
A letter from a distant land.
In 1246 Güyük Khan came to power in a lavish ceremony attended by many foreign dignitaries - something unthinkable for a Khan but two generations earlier. But in that short space of time the Khanate had expanded voraciously, consuming kingdoms and spitting out corpses at a record-breaking rate. Word of the glory and horrors of the kingdom had spread as far west as the Vatican, and the ears of the then Pope, Innocent IV. Franciscan friar John Of Plano Carpini was dispatched with a letter from his holiness, calling on Güyük to act peacefully towards Christian lands and convert himself to Christianity.
This was the great Khan's reply.
