A historical story about the Assassins, the Nizari Ismaili sect named after the son of the Fatimid ruler Al-Mustansir Billah Nizar, from its beginnings until the era of Hassan bin Sabbah. In the lecture, we also talk about the role of the Seljuks in that important period of history. Barkiyaruq, Alp Arslan, Nizam al-Mulk and other figures, including the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad, played a role in confronting the Assassins. We talk about their most famous castles, such as the Alamut Castle, and also the methods they followed to extend their power in the region of Persia.
