Who married Möge Khatun?

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.

Gengis Kan (mongol moderno Чингис хаан, Chinguis Jaan ; mongol clásico: ᠴᠢᠩᠭᠢᠰ ᠬᠠᠭᠠᠨ ver en grande, "Chiñguis Jagan") (nacido Temuyín; Dulun Boldak, ca. 1162 -Yinchuan, 18 de agosto de 1227) fue un guerrero y conquistador mongol que unificó a las tribus nómadas de esta etnia del norte de Asia, fundador y primer Gran Kan del Imperio mongol, considerado el imperio contiguo más grande de la historia. Bajo su liderazgo como Gran Kan, los mongoles comenzaron una oleada de conquistas que extendió su dominio a un vasto territorio, desde Europa Oriental hasta el océano Pacífico, y desde Siberia hasta Mesopotamia, la India e Indochina. En la primera fase de esta expansión, las hordas mongolas conquistaron importantes reinos de Asia, como el Imperio Jin del norte de China (1211-1216), el Imperio tanguta, el kanato de Kara-Kitai, el Imperio corasmio o la dinastía Song en el sur de China.

Sus excepcionales éxitos militares convirtieron a Gengis Kan en uno de los conquistadores más importantes de todos los tiempos y, al final de la vida del gran kan, el Imperio mongol ocupaba una parte sustancial de Asia Central y China.​ Gengis Kan y su historia de conquista tienen una temible reputación en las historias locales.​ Muchos cronistas medievales e historiadores modernos describen las conquistas de Gengis Kan como una destrucción total a una escala sin precedentes que condujo a una disminución drástica de la población en algunas regiones como resultado tanto de los exterminios masivos como de la hambruna. Las estimaciones del número de personas que murieron como consecuencia de las campañas militares de Gengis Kan van desde unos cuatro millones en las estimaciones más conservadoras hasta sesenta millones en los relatos históricos más liberales.​​​ Por otro lado, el reino budista uigur de Qocho, por ejemplo, lo veía como un libertador y abandonó voluntariamente el imperio Qara Khitai para convertirse en vasallos mongoles. Gengis Kan también fue retratado benéficamente por fuentes del Renacimiento temprano por respeto a la gran difusión de la cultura, la tecnología y las ideas a lo largo de la Ruta de la Seda bajo el Imperio mongol.

Más allá de sus éxitos militares, los logros civiles de Gengis Kan incluyeron el establecimiento de la ley mongola y la adopción del alfabeto uigur como sistema de escritura en sus vastos territorios. También practicó la meritocracia y la tolerancia religiosa. Los mongoles actuales lo consideran el padre fundador de Mongolia por unificar las tribus nómadas del noreste de Asia.​ Al poner la Ruta de la Seda bajo un entorno político cohesivo, también facilitó considerablemente la comunicación y el comercio entre el noreste de Asia, el sudoeste asiático musulmán y la Europa cristiana, impulsando el comercio global y expandiendo los horizontes culturales de todas las civilizaciones euroasiáticas de la época.​

Ögedei Khan (also Ögedei Khagan or Ogodei; c. 1186  – 11 December 1241) was the second khan of the Mongol Empire. The third son of Genghis Khan, he continued the expansion of the empire that his father had begun.

Born in c. 1186 AD, Ögedei fought in numerous battles during his father's rise to power. After being granted a large appanage and taking a number of wives, including Töregene, he played a prominent role in the Mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire. When his older brothers Jochi and Chagatai quarrelled over strategies when besieging Gurganj, Genghis appointed Ögedei sole commander; his successful capture of the city in 1221 ensured his military reputation. He was confirmed as heir after further infighting between his elder brothers led to both being excluded from succession plans. Genghis died in 1227, and Ögedei was elected as khan in 1229, after a two-year regency led by his younger brother Tolui.

As khan, Ögedei pursued the expansionist policies of his father. He launched a second invasion of Persia led by Chormaqan Noyan in 1230, which subdued the Khwarazmian prince Jalal al-Din Mangburni and began to subjugate Georgia. He initiated the Mongol invasions of Korea in 1231 and completed the Mongol conquest of the Jin dynasty in 1234, and his armies skirmished with the Song dynasty and in India. By the time of his death in 1241, large armies under the command of his nephew Batu Khan and the great general Subutai had subdued the steppes and penetrated deep into Europe. These armies defeated Poland at Legnica and Hungary at Mohi before retreating. It is likely that this retreat was caused by the need to find a successor after Ögedei's death, although some scholars have speculated that the Mongols were simply unable to invade further because of logistical difficulties.

As an administrator, Ögedei continued to develop the fast-growing Mongol state. Working with officials such as Yelü Chucai, he developed ortogh trading systems, instituted methods of tax collection, and established regional bureaucracies which controlled legal and economic affairs. He also founded the Mongol capital city, Karakorum, in the 1230s. Although historically disregarded in comparison to his father, especially on account of his alcoholism, he was known to be charismatic, good-natured, and intelligent. He was succeeded by his son Güyük.
