In 1227, Genghis Khan died, leaving an empire that stretched from the Caspian to the Pacific. But who would rule it? This episode explores the dramatic power struggle that followed, focusing on Tolui, Genghis's youngest son and the empire's most capable general. As regent for two years, Tolui held the Mongol Empire together—but he never claimed the throne. Why did the man who conquered the Khwarezmian heartland step aside for his brother Ögedei? We examine the 1229 kurultai, the role of Tolui's wife Sorghaghtani Beki, and the mysterious circumstances of his death in 1232. Drawing on the Secret History of the Mongols and Rashid al-Din's Jami' al-tawarikh, we piece together the story of a man who chose loyalty over ambition—and whose sons would later rule the empire. We also discuss how Tolui's regency shaped Mongol succession traditions, the tension between merit and birthright, and why his legacy endures in the Yuan Dynasty. #Tolui #GenghisKhan #Ögedei #SorghaghtaniBeki #MongolEmpire #Kurultai #1229Kurultai #SecretHistoryOfTheMongols #RashidAlDin #JamiAltawarikh #MongolSuccession #YuanDynasty #CentralAsia #SteppeHistory #KhubilaiKhan #MongolRegency #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
