خلاصة:
The reign of Ghazan Khan (694-703 AH) holds importance in the history of the Mongol Ilkhanid era in Iran for various reasons. His official conversion to Islam, along with the Mongols residing in Iran, and the attempt to implement a series of extensive reforms in political, social, cultural, and economic spheres, are among the signs of this importance that have attracted the attention of contemporary historians and, subsequently, researchers. As a result of such conditions, a memory of a capable king and a period of relative peace and prosperity from this time remains as a legacy. However, it seems that portraying such a glittering image of the Ghazanid era has caused the events of the final year of his reign, which differs in many aspects from the preceding years, to receive less attention. In this final year, Ghazan Khan was severely ill and lost many of his capabilities as an energetic and determined ruler, and the Ilkhanid government faced serious tensions and crises in social, economic, and political spheres, as well as foreign relations. In fact, the events of this year, which were themselves the consequence of some of the transformations and policies of the late Ghazanid period, had an impact on the structure and pillars of power after the death of Ghazan Khan. With this hypothesis, the present article attempts to review the events of the final year of Ghazan Khan's reign with a precise and detailed perspective. To achieve a clear and eloquent analysis in this field, a comparative method between reports from sources, including historiographical texts of the Ilkhanid period and, in some cases, Mamluk sources, has been employed. The main finding of the research is also the presentation of a relatively different analysis of the reign of Ghazan Khan, especially its final year. The article also considers the subject of Ghazan Khan's death from a new angle, a topic that can certainly be accompanied by further investigations.

has mentioned the time of the formation of the court, or as he calls it, the "Quriltai," as the sixth of Safar, which is more than two months later than the date provided by Rashid al-Din; see: Fazlullah bin Abdullah Vassaaf al-Hazra Shirazi, Tarikh-i Vassaaf al-Hazra (Tehran: Ibn Sina Library and Jafari Tabrizi Library, 1383), p.
21 Ahmed Tabrizi, in the Shahanshah-nama, has mentioned the treatment of Amir Chupan and his good reputation before his return from the battlefield,31 but after mentioning the punishment of some amirs, he says the following regarding Amir Chupan, who had now joined the Ilkhanid camp in Ojan: To the shepherd he turned once again / Sometimes giving him robes and sometimes giving him wealth / He became the head of lords, a powerful god / By the strength of arm and the power of horses41 Another of the main defendants whom Khwaja Rashid al-Din apparently deliberately did not mention was Qutlugh Shah, the most powerful Mongol amir in the final years of Ghazan Khan's reign and also a close friend of Khwaja.
