Mubarak Shah (Chagatai Khan)
Mubarak Shah ( fa, مبارک شاه ) was a Khan of the Chagatai Khanate (1252–1260, March–September 1266). Biography He was the son of Qara Hülëgü (son of Mötüken) and Ergene Khatun (daughter of Toralji Küregen). He was the first Chagatai Khan to convert to Islam.

Checheyikhen
Checheikhen was a daughter of Genghis Khan and his first wife Börte. Marriage When, in 1207, Genghis Khan sent his son Jochi to subdue the northern tribes, the Oirats were the first to offer an alliance to Genghis Khan. As part of this alliance, his daughter Checheyikhen married Torolchi, one of the sons of the Oirat chieftain Khudugha Beki. One of Jochi's daughters, Checheyikhen's niece, married another. At her marriage, Genghis told her to govern and control the Oirat people. Her husband would not stay with her, but serve under Genghis Khan as one of his ''gurugen'', or sons-in-law. Her control over the Oirat gave the Mongols control over the northern trade routes. Since her sisters co-administered important parts of the Silk Route, the commercial interdependence between their respective lands increased. Aftermath of Checheyikhen's death In 1237, likely after Checheyikhen died, her brother Ögedei Khan seized the Oirat lands and allegedly had 4000 young Oirat girls raped. Th ...

Chagatayid Khan
The Chagatai Khans were the monarchs of the Chagatai Khanate from Chagatai Khan's inheritance of the state in 1227 to their removal from power by the Dzungars and their vassals in 1687. The power of the Chagatai Khans varied; from its beginning, the khanate was one of the weakest of the Mongol states and often its rulers were merely figureheads for ambitious conquerors (see Kaidu and Timur).

De Nicola states that prior to the spread of the Mongols across Central Asia, Khatun meant ‘lady’ or ‘noblewoman’ and is found in broad usage in medieval Persian and Arabic texts. Peter Benjamin ...
