Question
A mass grave from a town of this group near Lake Issyk Kul is the earliest evidence of the bubonic plague. A leader of this group transcribed his debate with the Abbasid caliph al-Mahdi. While traveling with this group’s future leader Yahballaha to meet Honorius IV, a member of this group documented the Sicilian Vespers and an eruption of Etna. This religious group included the Keraite princess who led the “Toluid revolution,” Sorghaghtani Beki, her uncle Toghrul, and her niece (*) Doquz Khatun, who got Hulagu to spare this group during the sack of Baghdad. Táng Tàizōng’s patronage of this religious group under Alopen is recorded on the Xī’ān stele. The Yuán emissary Rabban Bar Sauma was part of this group, whose prevalence led to the Prester John legends. For 10 points, name this Christian church often misleadingly named for a 5th-century heresiarch. ■END■
