The Mongols invaded the Holy Land and Syria in the 13the century and protected the Christians there due to large sections of the Mongols being converted to Eastern Christianity. Their conquering strategy was to force the lands they invaded to give troops to the Mongol Army and they'd be left alive that way.
Few Christians relented and preferred to fight the Mongols. One Christian kingdom got caught half-way between the Mongols and the Byzantines, and had to choose who to ally with. That kingdom was the Armenian kingdom and they chose the Mongols due to the war they were waging with Byzance.
To sum this up, the Armenians and the Crusader Norman king of Antioch allied with the Mongols and with the Mongols under Christian general Kitbuqa. Those three allies, took Baghdad, Damascus and Aleppo. That was the Holy Covenant to free Jerusalem and it functioned. The Mongol King that protected his Christian allies because of the presence of Christians within his own army was called Hulagu Khan and he's still represented by his successors in the Middle East and Holy Land.
