He was indeed a really complex person and I want to find his real face among different opinions. I divided my essay into five champers. First of them is describing first year of Jalal ad-Din rule in Khwarezm, which was short and full of fights. Second chapter is describing evolution of relations between Mongols and khwarezmshah during twelve years of his rule. Third chapter is focused on relations with khaliphate in Bagdad and from same point of vue, next chapter is describing relations of Jalal ad-Din and Ayyoubids and Seljuq empire of Rum.
