Siege of Nishapur (1221)
1221 siege during the Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire
The siege of Nishapur took place in April 1221, during the Mongol invasion of Khorasan. The siege was led by Tolui Khan, son of Genghis Khan, following the death of Genghis Khan's son-in-law Taghaqchar during an earlier engagement at Nishapur. The fall of the city resulted in a large-scale massacre and the near-total destruction of Nishapur.
