An older Chinggis Khan with his primary empress, Börte Khatun, from my video series on the daughters of Chinggis Khan.

Börte was a year older than Chinggis, but we don't know when she died. The last time she is mentioned by name is around 1210, during the fall of Teb Tenggeri. After that, the sources only make references to "empresses" of Chinggis, which could refer to Börte or any of Chinggis' other major wives. Writing in 1237, the Song Dynasty envoys Peng Daya and Xu Ting however, wrote that Ögedei's mother was still alive.

"since [Chinggis'] death, Ukudei's mother has personally led his cavalry army." (Peng Daya and Xu Ting, "Sketch of the Black Tatars," trans. Christopher Atwood, (2021) pg. 123.)

The phrase is rather referring to the inheritance of Chinggis' ordu and troops rather than the empress actually leading the army in the field (as otherwise the sources don't mention Börte, in her mid-70s, leading an invasion of Song lands).

But, as Atwood speculates, it's hard to know if this is really Börte being referred to her, or another of Chinggis' surviving khatuns which the Song authors confused with Börte. It was not uncommon for these types of sources to be confused by the identity of the wives and their relationships with the khan and his sons. A favourite example is Gürbesü the Naiman queen, who changes from Tayang Khan's wife or mother depending on the source (she was a young wife of Tayang's father, who after the father's death was inherited by Tayang. She was not his mother, but step-mother, and later was married to Chinggis after the defeat of the Naiman.

Women have authority. They do certain things. You check in with them. You ask their advice. You listen to them when they speak. This is normal.

“In 1178, a 17-year-old Mongol woman married a man she hardly knew. And while her husband traveled and fought and conquered, she ruled those who remained in Mongolia, managing every aspect of daily life in a massive nomadic camp. Commanders and shepherds alike reported to her, and she coordinated complex seasonal migrations of thousands of people and their livestock. At 28, she became the Grand Empress of the Mongol Empire; her name was Börte.

Börte’s husband, Chinggis Khan (also known, based on the Arabic transliteration, as Genghis Khan), receives all the glory for founding the largest contiguous land empire the world has ever known, but Börte and her immense contributions have been largely forgotten. While their husbands fought in distant, years-long military campaigns, Börte and other Mongol women kept the empire running. Some women also rode to war. Khutulun, Chinggis Khan’s great-great-granddaughter, would swoop down on the enemy “as deftly as a hawk,” wrote Marco Polo.”

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. Little is known about the details of her early life, but she was betrothed to Genghis at a young age, married at seventeen, and then kidnapped by a rival tribe. Her husband's daring rescue of her may have been 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 key bloodline that further expanded the Mongol Empire.

Borte and Hoelun, Genghis' mother, were some of the most influential and important people in the Khan's life.

Who Was Really In Charge? Genghis Khan didn't rule alone. His wife Börte (Both Pictured Above in an Artistic Rendering from the Book Jami' al Tawarikh) played a significant part in keeping his massive camp in order and advising him on all matters from politics to the military. Here's how the first Mongol empress exerted her influence—and why she and many others like her are among The Empire's Unsung Heroes. Photograph By Bridgeman Images

[ammg-old2]

Genghis Khan's life is told in the (sometimes fantastical) Secret History of the Mongols parts of which likely date to the first half of the 13th century as well as later Chinese and Arab sources. He was born to aristocratic parents and was given the birth name of Temujin (Temuchin), named after a Tartar (Tatar) captive. The date of birth is not known for certain with some scholars choosing 1162 and others 1167. Legend has it that the infant was born clutching a clot of blood in his right hand, an ominous omen of things to come. Temujin's mother was called Hoelun and his father, Yisugei, who was a tribal leader, and he arranged for his son to marry Borte (aka Bortei), the daughter of another influential Mongol leader, Dei-secen, but before this plan could come to fruition, Temujin's father was poisoned by a rival. Temujin was still only nine or twelve years old at the time and so he could not maintain the loyalty of his father's followers. As a consequence, he and his mother were abandoned on the Asian steppe, left to die. However, the outcast family managed to forage and live off the land as best they could.

Things then got even worse when the young Temujin was captured by a rival clan leader, perhaps following an incident where Temujin may have killed one of his older half-brothers, Bekter, who likely represented a rival branch of the family that had taken on the legacy of Yisugei. Fortunately, Temujin was able to escape during the night and, gathering around him the few still-loyal followers of his father, he joined up with Toghril, chief of the Kerait, a tribe that his father had once helped. Temujin then married his betrothed from several years earlier, Borte.

Before long the leadership and martial talents of Temujin brought him victories over local rivals and his army grew in size. The conflicts were bitter with one tribal leader infamously boiling his captives in 70 large cauldrons. Temujin proved unstoppable, though, and he managed to unify most of the different nomadic tribes which roamed the grasslands of central Asia, each one composed of different but related clans, by creating a web of alliances between them. Temujin made himself the dominant leader through a mix of diplomacy, generosity, and his own ruthless use of force and punishments. Defeated tribes were sometimes compelled to join his army or killed to a man. Courageous himself in battle, Temujin would often reward bravery shown by the defeated, famously making a man called Jebe one of his generals because he had withstood a cavalry charge and fired an arrow that felled Temujin's own horse.

writing a paper on the history of women in the mongol empire and i think i have typed more umlauts in the last 7 pages than i have in my entire college career. the english language is so weak we need to shake things up with a few ö and ü and ï and maybe even the occasional ë.

#it is so satisfying to type the umlaut in börte or töregene #the best name is güyük though because that has TWO #i did recently meet an anaïs but she usually spells it without the umlaut #anyway back to my paper this is your random linguistics thought of the day #oh also brontë! that's a good last name. but i'm pretty sure they deliberately added the ë it wasn't originally spelled like that #pie says stuff #pie goes to college

Yandere husband Genghis Khan

❝ 📜 — lady l: I hope you like! I hadn't written to him yet, but I confess that I liked it! Good reading and forgive me for any mistakes!❤️

❝tw: dub-con, mention of massacre and destruction, possessive and violent behavior, implied torture.

❝📜pairing: yandere!genghis khan x female!reader.

Genghis Khan set his eyes on you after you became a concubine, one of his many that he possessed. After invading your city and looting and massacring the inhabitants, you were given to him as spoils of war. A concubine and nothing more.

When you were summoned to his tent, you were scared to death. Terrified of what he could do to you. You had already seen what the other soldiers had done to the captives women and you were shaking in terror at the thought of suffering the same.

Your heart was beating wildly in your chest when you walked in and found him waiting for you, wearing light clothes and drinking. You took a deep breath and walked towards the conqueror of your city. He looked at you briefly and you knew what you had to do.

To your surprise, Genghis wasn't rude or forced you, he was quite calm and gentle. A word you never thought you could use referring to him, aiming at the reputation he maintained. That said, you started to like him more, to like the nights you spent together more and more.

You were called by him every night and not every night was about the pleasures of the flesh, but because he enjoyed your company. You also started to like him, he wasn't that bad, at least not to you.

He soon decided that he wanted to marry you, to transform you from a concubine to his wife. You were surprised when he told you this news, but you didn't reject the idea. Being his wife would bring you more benefits than being his concubine and soon the preparations began.

The wedding was celebrated in typical Mongolian style and you were welcomed by soldiers and people important to him. Even his main wife, Börte, congratulated you and she seemed genuine. Genghis Khan appreciated this fact immensely, he could always benefit from it later.

You were treated with all the perks he could give you, jewelry, food, clothes made of the purest silk, anything you wanted he would have no problem getting. If you asked him to, he would destroy an entire tribe or city just for you.

You held a lot of power over him, especially when you got pregnant with your first child. Genghis was especially happy about this and you spent the whole night making love after this news. He was falling more in love with you every day.

He was quite possessive, however, and that was obvious to you. He once had one of his own subordinates tortured for daring to lust after you. You would never forget the screams that night or the bloody way your husband had appeared to you.

Genghis cares and cares for you in his own way and often resorts to violence to do so. He wasn't a conqueror without a reason, there was a murderous fury inside him that many knew. It soon became very clear to everyone who they must protect at all costs. You kept him in check.

He might have other concubines and wives, but he always came back to you in the end. In your arms, he had found a comfort he didn't know he needed until he got it. Genghis could kill anyone who looked at you the wrong way, but it was because he loved you.

You may not be his first wife, but you are definitely his favorite.

For the next few weeks, I will post depictions, in chronological order, of all the rulers of the Mongol Empire from 1206-1388. Each will have their names in English, modern and traditional Mongolian scripts, as well as the temple names given to them during the Yuan Dynasty

First up is a man who needs no introduction— Chinggis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire. Born Temüjin son of Yisügei around 1162, after a youth of hardship, he solidified his rule over the people of the Mongolian plateau and established the Mongol Empire in 1206. From there he began a series of conquests that took him to North China, across Central Asia to the borders of India. His state had an immense transformative impact on the regions it conquered, and descent from him remained one of the premiere forms of legitimacy for rulers as late as the 18th-19th centuries in some areas.

While he had a number of wives, the most important was his yeke khatun Börte. His four sons with her —Jochi, Chagatai, Ögedei, and Tolui— each became important dynastic progenitors in their own right. The uncertain paternity of Jochi ultimately culminated in his third son, Ögedei, becoming his designated heir. Chinggis died while campaigning against the Tangut Kingdom in 1227, possibly from internal injuries after a fall from horseback, but due to his orders for secrecy, the precise reasons will never be known. He was buried in a secret grave on Mount Burkhan Khaldun in Mongolia, a practice most of his successors followed. His grandson Khubilai posthumously entitled him as Yuan Taizu, “Great Founder of the Yuan Dynasty.”

anti feminist women take what they like from feminism and leave what they don't like, the only reason why you and other women like you can and have the right to share your hateful opinions online is because of feminists from the past. if not them all you could do is clean your shitty toilet after your big baby husband took a big 💩 in there. if not feminists you could never share your opinions online 💖

Firstly, I'm a man. Even if I do have long hair (just past the shoulders). Secondly, I don't deny the good past feminism has done; God is to be praised for the likes of Josephine Butler and Emmeline Pankhurst. Thirdly, while I do think modern feminism is a severely misguided and in many cases actively harmful movement, I don't call myself an anti-feminist because (especially as a man) that conjures up images of an unkempt slob masturbating to despicable porn while posting rants about how "all broads are unfit for any political office" and "do not hesitate to discipline [your wives] when necessary" (thanks for the quote, @geoproxus4). I prefer non-feminist. Fourthly, I do not believe I have advocated violence or discrimination against women; tell me if I have. Fifthly, "if not them all you could do is clean your s***** toilet after your big baby husband". Aside from needless vulgarity, do you know how much work goes in to making and keeping a home? Cooking, cleaning, childcare - it is tremendously diverse and time-consuming and often skilled. Please respect stay-at-home women more.

What I finally want to address is the idea that women never did anything of importance before feminism. Tell that to Margaret of Anjou, leading armies at Ludford Bridge, Wakefield and Saint Albans. Tell that to Julian of Norwich, writing books about her mystical experiences, living in a convent away from her husband. Tell that to Hürrem Sultan and Catherine of Aragorn and Eleanor of Aquitaine and Abigail Adams and Deborah and Börte. Truly you believe, as @modestyandetiquette put it, "the feminist fairy tale of the past as completely dominated by men with the women entirely bereft of agency and at the mercy of the impulses of their men." Yes, women were barred from holding many offices, but those offices (especially monarchical and other aristocratic ones) were very frequently done from the home, where women were, and almost certainly weighing in their opinions. What really disempowered women was the industrial revolution drawing a hard line between work and the home, thus turning home life into a prison for women and devaluing work done at home. Another reason to support letting it burn from population decline and building a non-industrial society from the ashes.

(By the way, if you want to know why I reject modern feminism, here are my reasons. )
