Song Dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | During the Song Dynasty, there were many threats from the northern borders by the Khitans (契丹) from the Liao Dynasty (遼朝), Tanguts from the Western Xia (西夏) Dynasty, and the Jurchens (女真)from the Jin dynasty (金朝). |
 | | The reason was that Qinzong, the last emperor of the Northern Song was living in Jin-imposed exile in Manchuria and had a good chance of being recalled to the throne should the Jin Dynasty be destroyed. |
 | | It is also in their invasion of Southern Song, that the Mongols suffered some of the most humilating defeats, notably the death of Mongke Khan in action, the first and only Khan ever to be killed in an invasion launched by Mongols. |
