A Byzantine–Mongol alliance〔 *Sicker, p. 132. *Dagron et al., p. 309. "…agreed to prolong the Byzantine-Mongol (Iranian) alliance." *Jackson, pp. 202–203. "From 1273 Michael allied with Noghai, giving him an illegitimate daughter in marriage and using him as a means to put pressure on Bulgaria."〕 occurred during the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century between the Byzantine Empire and the Mongol Empire. Byzantium actually tried to maintain friendly relations with both the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate realms, who were often at war with each other. The alliance involved numerous exchanges of presents, military collaboration and marital links, but dissolved in the middle of the 14th century. ==Diplomatic overtures== Soon after the Battle of Kose Dag in 1243, the Empire of Trebizond surrendered to the Mongol Empire while the court of Nicaea put its fortresses in order.〔A. A. Vasiliev ''History of the Byzantine Empire, 324-1453'', p.531〕 In the early 1250s, the Latin emperor of Constantinople Baldwin II sent an embassy to Mongolia in the person of the knight Baudoin de Hainaut, who, following his return, met in Constantinople with the departing William of Rubruck.〔Richard, p. 377.〕 William of Rubruck also noted that he met an envoy of John III Doukas Vatatzes, emperor of Nicaea, at the court of Möngke Khan in circa 1253. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Byzantine–Mongol alliance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
