By April 1300, Pope Boniface VIII was sending a letter announcing the "great and joyful news to be celebrated with special rejoicing," that the Mongol Ghazan had conquered the Holy Land and offered to hand it over to the Christians.
I april 1300 udsendte pave Bonifacius 8. et brev, der bekendtgjorde den "store og glædelige nyhed, der skal højtideligholdes ved særlig jubel", nemlig at mongolen Ghazan havde erobret det hellige land og tilbudt at overdrage det til de kristne.
