""Jalâl al-Dîn was a bad ruler who administered his realm abominably. Among the rulers who were his neighbours he did not leave one without showing hostility to him and challenging him for his kingdom, acting as a bad neighbour.

He imposed upon them an annual tribute in money and also on others. Every ruler abandoned him and would not take his hand." - Ibn Al Athir."
