Abbassides1 is the name of a dynasty who possessed the caliphate for 508 years2 from 750 to 1261. There were 37 caliphs of this dynasty who succeeded one another without interruption. They claimed descent from Abbas, the uncle of Muhammad3. The most famous caliphs of this dynasty were Almansur and Harun-al-Rashid. The last Abbasside to be caliph at Bagdad was Mustasim, who was put to death by Hulaku Khan, a Mongolian ruler of Persia in 1258.
