Who married Genghis Khan?

Genghis Khan (born Temüjin; c. 1162 – August 1227), also known as Chinggis Khan, was the founder and first khan of the Mongol Empire. After spending most of his life uniting the Mongol tribes, he launched a series of military campaigns, conquering large parts of China and Central Asia.

Born between 1155 and 1167 and given the name Temüjin, he was the eldest child of Yesugei, a Mongol chieftain of the Borjigin clan, and his wife Hö'elün. When Temüjin was eight, his father died and his family was abandoned by its tribe. Reduced to near-poverty, Temüjin killed his older half-brother to secure his familial position. His charismatic personality helped to attract his first followers and to form alliances with two prominent steppe leaders named Jamukha and Toghrul; they worked together to retrieve Temüjin's newlywed wife Börte, who had been kidnapped by raiders. As his reputation grew, his relationship with Jamukha deteriorated into open warfare. Temüjin was badly defeated in c. 1187, and may have spent the following years as a subject of the Jin dynasty; upon reemerging in 1196, he swiftly began gaining power. Toghrul came to view Temüjin as a threat and launched a surprise attack on him in 1203. Temüjin regrouped and overpowered Toghrul; after defeating the Naiman tribe and executing Jamukha, he was left as the sole ruler on the Mongolian steppe.

Temüjin formally adopted the title "Genghis Khan", the meaning of which is uncertain, at an assembly in 1206. Carrying out reforms designed to ensure long-term stability, he transformed the Mongols' tribal structure into an integrated meritocracy dedicated to the service of the ruling family. After thwarting a coup attempt from a powerful shaman, Genghis began to consolidate his power. In 1209, he led a large-scale raid into the neighbouring Western Xia, who agreed to Mongol terms the following year. He then launched a campaign against the Jin dynasty, which lasted for four years and ended in 1215 with the capture of the Jin capital Zhongdu. His general Jebe annexed the Central Asian state of Qara Khitai in 1218. Genghis was provoked to invade the Khwarazmian Empire the following year by the execution of his envoys; the campaign toppled the Khwarazmian state and devastated the regions of Transoxiana and Khorasan, while Jebe and his colleague Subutai led an expedition that reached Georgia and Kievan Rus'. In 1227, Genghis died while subduing the rebellious Western Xia; following a two-year interregnum, his third son and heir Ögedei acceded to the throne in 1229.

Genghis Khan remains a controversial figure. He was generous and intensely loyal to his followers, but ruthless towards his enemies. He welcomed advice from diverse sources in his quest for world domination, for which he believed the shamanic supreme deity Tengri had destined him. The Mongol army under Genghis killed millions of people, yet his conquests also facilitated unprecedented commercial and cultural exchange over a vast geographical area. He is remembered as a backwards, savage tyrant in Russia and the Arab world, while recent Western scholarship has begun to reassess its previous view of him as a barbarian warlord. He was posthumously deified in Mongolia; modern Mongolians recognise him as the founding father of their nation.

Хадаан — дочь Сорган-Ширы, одного из нукеров Чингисхана.

Möge Khatun (died 1242), was a princess of the Bakrin tribe and concubine of Genghis Khan. After the Khan’s death, Möge became a wife of Genghis' son, Ögedei Khan. She was briefly regent in 1241.

According to the historian Juvayni, "she was given to Genghis Khan by a chief of the Bakrin tribe, and he loved her very much." Ögedei also favored her, and she accompanied him on hunting expeditions. In 1241, after the death of Ögedei Khan, power briefly passed into her hands. By the spring of 1242, however, Töregene Khatun had assumed complete power as regent with the support of Chagatai and her sons with the title Great Khatun and replaced the ministers of Ögödei with her own. Historian Timothy May has argued that Töregene waited until the death of Möge Khatun and Ögedei's first wife Boraqchin before revealing her true intentions with the regency.

Möge Khatun did not have any children.

Börte Üjin (; Mongolian: ᠪᠥᠷᠲᠡ ᠦᠵᠢᠨ Бөртэ үжин), better known as Börte (c. 1161–1230), was the first wife of Temüjin, who became Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire. Börte became the head of the first Court of Genghis Khan, and Grand Empress of his Empire. She was betrothed to Genghis at a young age, married at seventeen, and then kidnapped by a rival tribe. Her husband's rescue of her is considered one of the key events that started him on his path to becoming a conqueror. She gave birth to four sons and five daughters, who, along with their own descendants, were the primary bloodline in the expansion of the Mongol Empire.

Ибаха-беки, Абика-беги (монг. Ибага бэхи) — старшая дочь Джаха-Гамбу, племянница кереитского хана Тоорила (Ван-хана).

В 1203 году кереиты были разгромлены войсками Чингисхана. Поскольку ранее Джаха-Гамбу добровольно присоединился к Чингису и помог отразить нападение меркитов, его семья одной из немногих не была разорена. Ибаху-беки Чингисхан взял себе в жёны, а её младшую сестру, Сорхахтани, — сосватал за своего сына Толуя. Другая сестра Ибахи, Биктутмиш-Фуджин, стала женой старшего сына Чингиса Джучи. Как ни странно, но позже, раздавая привилегии своим сподвижникам, Чингисхан отказался от брака с Ибахой, выдав её за урутского нойона Джурчедая якобы за заслуги последнего.

Возможная причина этого поступка указывается в персидской летописи «Джами ат-таварих»: согласно одному из приведённых в ней рассказов, однажды к Чингисхану во сне явился Тенгри, велев передать Ибаху-беки другому мужчине. Проснувшись, хан окликнул стоявшего в карауле воина — им оказался Джурчедай — и объявил, что отдаёт Ибаху ему. Отправляя бывшую супругу к урутам, Чингисхан позволил ей забрать с собой почти всё имущество (включая юрту, домочадцев и слуг, табуны и стада), за исключением стольника (баурчи) Ашик-Темура и золотой чаши для кумыса.

Ибаха-беки и её сын были одними из подозреваемых в смерти третьего сына и наследника Чингиса — Угэдэя. 11 декабря 1241 года, после пира, Угэдэй внезапно умер. Так как сын Ибаха-беки был ханским стольником, его вместе с матерью обвинили в отравлении. Доказать причастность обоих, однако, не удалось: благодаря вмешательству влиятельного нойона и родственника Угэдэя Элджидая Ибаха-беки и её сын смогли избежать наказания.

Khulan (Mongolian: ᠬᠤᠯᠠᠨ, romanized: qulan; Chinese: 忽蘭; pinyin: Hūlán; c. 1164 – c. 1215) (also called Qulan) was an empress consort of Genghis Khan and head of the second Court of Genghis Khan. Her status in the Mongol Empire was second only to Grand Empress Börte.

Genghis Khan had many wives and concubines. Wives and concubines were frequently acquired from conquered territory, and, in the case of Genghis Khan, sometimes whole empires, and the women enrolled as either his wives or concubines were often princesses or queens that were either taken captive or gifted to him.

Genghis Khan gave several of his high-status wives their own ordos or camps to live in and manage. Each camp also contained junior wives, concubines, and even children. It was the job of the Kheshig (Mongol imperial guard) to protect the yurts of Genghis Khan's wives. The guards had to pay particular attention to the individual yurt and camp in which Genghis Khan slept, which could change every night as he visited different wives. When Genghis Khan set out on his military conquests, he usually took one wife with him and left the rest of his wives (and concubines) to manage the empire in his absence.
