	After Genghis Khan
		Pending a kurultai to elect Ogedei's successor, his widow Toregene Khatun assumed power and proceeded to ensure the election of her son Guyuk by the kurultai.
		Batu was unwilling to accept Guyuk as Great Khan, but did not possess the power in the kurultai to procure his own election.
		Guyuk died in 1248, only two years after his election, on his way west apparently to force Batu to acknowledge his authority, and his widow Oghul Ghaymish assumed power pending the meeting of the kurultai; unfortunately for her, she could not keep the power.
