Was a marriage between the Franks/English and the Mongels (Hulagu) feasible?

Is this realistic in any way?

Basically what I just wrote. Not that I'm an avid writer but I was having thoughts about tinkering with a TL were Hulagu or one of his sons sends a daughter to marry a French princling in exchange for reaffirmation of a Franco-Mongrel alliance. I also distinctly remember reading about Edward Longshanks asking for and receiving help from the illkhanate during his activities in the Levant, and wonder if this could have panned out into a marriage, perhaps to El Qutlugh Khatun?

All comments are welcome, personally I feel this would be more feasible with the french, but I confess I'm rather ignorant about how various European courts would take this. Would it have to be done with a second son, or would a sizable dowry (a really really exotically rich dowry) be enough to make the french (or English) court amendable to a very foreign princess?
 
Well is hitorical fact that both part wanted an alliance, but The distances make The prospect of alliance extremly dificult if you could resolver that a marriage is probable
 
Possible but unlikely. Both the French and English could probably get some sort of assistance without it; that is the marriage doesn't get them anything more than what they could get without it, so save the marriage for someone more useful.
