Chagatai Khan

1183 - 1242

Chagatai Khan

Chagatai Khan (Mongolian: ᠴᠠᠭᠠᠲᠠᠶ; c. 1184 – 1242) was a son of Genghis Khan and a prominent figure in the early Mongol Empire. The second son of Genghis's wife Börte, Chagatai was renowned for his masterful knowledge of Mongol custom and law, which he scrupulously obeyed, and his harsh temperament. Because Genghis felt that he was too inflexible in character, most notably never accepting the legitimacy of his elder brother Jochi, he excluded Chagatai from succession to the Mongol throne. He was nevertheless a key figure in ensuring the stability of the empire after Genghis's death and during the reign of his younger brother Ögedei Khan. Read more on Wikipedia

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Chagatai Khan is the 489th most popular politician (down from 304th in 2019), the 5th most popular biography from Mongolia and the 3rd most popular Mongolian Politician.

Chagatai Khan was the second son of Genghis Khan and the founder of the Chagatai Khanate. He is most famous for defeating the Ilkhanate and bringing the Ilkhanate under his rule.
