"Nay," responded the Khan, "to crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet—to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. That is best."

Harold Lamb - Genghis Khan, the emperor of all men (1925)

Lifted for the Conan movie by Milius and nothing to do with REH, although it fits the character in the end. He meets with someone named "Genjis" (Kobe) in the comics, however.

The Mongol conqueror #Genghis Khan's grandson Hulegu captured #Baghdad and ended the Abbasid #caliphate in the city in 1258.

I just read a text that asserts that around 25 years later, the Muslim vizier Shams al-Din Juvayni was involved in a plot to restore the caliphate, but he was put to death when Hulegu's grandson Arghun overthrew his uncle Teguder Ahmad. This is probably just slander, but it is surprising slander in a #Syriac text written in the late 1310s!

I'm (re)reading the History of Mar Yahballaha and Rabban Sawma.
