Topic: Guyuk Khan

	Mongols and Yuan China by Sanderson Beck
		The khan must be elected, and everyone, including the khan, was subject to the law.
		One exception was after the husband of Genghis Khan's daughter was killed at Nishapur in 1221; she ordered the death of all in the city, and the skulls of men, women, and children were piled in pyramids.
		Guyuk accused his mother's advisor, Fatima Khatun, and got away with torturing her because she was not a Mongol.

		In the meanwhile, however, Ögedei had died, his widow Töregene had taken over as regent, was in a position of great influence and authority, and used both to advocate for her son Güyük.
		He reversed several of the unpopular edicts of his mother the regent, and, though somewhat libertine, made a surprisingly capable khan, appointing Eljigidei in Persia (with designs for an attack on Baghdad) and pursuing the war against the Song Dynasty.
		The reign of Güyük, then, showed that the family split between Batu's line, the descendants of Jöchi, and the rest of the family might well be the fatal flaw for the unity of all the khanates, and civil war might well have occurred, had he not died early.

	Unique Facts about Asia: Mongol Empire
		At the time of Genghis Khan's death in 1227, the empire was divided among his four sons with his third son as the nominal supreme Khan, but by the 1350s, the khanates were in a state of fracture and had lost the organization of Genghis Khan.
		The Great Khan Möngke having died, however, he hastened to return for the election, and the force that remained in Palestine was destroyed by the Mamluks under Baibars in 1261 at Ayn Jalut.
		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.

	Batu Khan Summary
		Batu was a grandson of Genghis Khan, the conqueror of Asia and founder of the Mongol Empire.
		Batu was a son of Jochi and grandson of Genghis Khan.
		Although Genghis Khan recognized Jochi as his son, his parentage was always in question, as his mother Börte, Genghis Khan's wife, had been captured and raped, and Jochi was born exactly nine months after her recovery by Genghis Khan.

	Genghis Khan (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Before his death, Genghis Khan divided his empire among his sons Ã—gedei, Chagatai, Tolui, and Jochi (Jochi's death several months before Genghis Khan meant that his lands were instead split between his sons, Batu and Orda) into several Khanates designed as sub-territories: their Khans were expected to follow the Great Khan, who was, initially, Ã—gedei.
		In 1256, during the rule of Ã—gedei, Hulagu Khan, son of Tolui, was charged with the conquest of the Muslim nations to the southwest of the empire.
		Genghis Khan was by and large tolerant of the multiple religions and there are no cases of him or the Mongols engaging in religious war against people he encountered during the conquests as long as they were obedient.

		Guyuk's enthronement near Qaraqorum, the Mongol capital, was attended by John of Plano Carpini.

		The best chance of a Christian triumph came in 1246, when Genghis Khan's grandson Guyuk was chosen as Grand Khan of the Mongols.
		Guyuk's mother and many of his intimate advisors were Nestorians, and his perceived bias in favor of Christianity provoked angry reactions from other Genghisids.
		In factual history, Guyuk died after a two-year reign, but it is easy to devise a counterfactual in which he brought the Mongols to the Christian faith and ensured that Islam, rather than Nestorianism, would dwindle to near extinction.
