Gaykhatu sebelumnya tewas dibunuh atas perintah dari Taghachar, panglima pasukan Mongol. Ia lalu mengangkat Baydu sebagai penguasa. Baydu dianggap mudah dikendalikan dan hanya menjadi penguasa boneka.[4]

Baydu sangat bersimpati dengan agama Kristen,[5] tetapi terpaksa berpura-pura Muslim.[6]

Masa kekuasaannya berakhir setelah Ghazan berperang melawannya.[3] Baydu mencoba lari ke Georgia, tetapi ia malah ditawan di dekat Nakhichevan.[3][7] Ia lalu dibawa ke Tabriz dan dihukum mati pada 5 Oktober 1295.[3]
