Mingbarni, Jalal al-Din

Mingbarni, Jalal al-Din
(?-1231)
   The son of 'Ala al-Din Khwarazm Shah. He was posted at Ghazni at the time Chingez Khan overran Khwarazmi territory up to Herat. In 1221, Jalal al-Din Ming-barni vacated Ghazni and moved toward the Indus River with the idea of seeking refuge inside the Delhi sultanate. He was hotly pur-sued by Chingez. Being overwhelmed by the Mongols, Mingbarni plunged his horse into the Indus and swam to the other side. During the years that Mingbarni was in the Punjab and Sind, he tried to es-tablish himself there as an independent ruler but was not successful. Iltutmish, on his part, politely indicated that Mingbarni was not wel-come to his court. Finally, he proceeded to Iran, marching through Kirman, Isfahan, and Tabrez. Mingbarni was killed in western Iran by Kurd bandits in 1231.
