Download Sorghaghtani of Mongolia Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
On the wind-swept steppes of Mongolia in the thirteenth century, a princess was given the chance to rule. She took lands that had been ruined by war and made them wealthy again, brought mutual respect and cooperation to a downtrodden and distrustful people, and in a battle of wits that was like a giant chess game, won for her sons the imperial throne. This is the story of Sorghaghtani, a real and remarkable princess who handed her sons the largest empire in the world. Richly illustrated and narrated with humor, The Thinking Girl’s Treasury of Real Princesses brings to life the stories of real and remarkable princesses who managed to do what few thought possible.

Download The Secret History of the Mongol Queens Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
“A fascinating romp through the feminine side of the infamous Khan clan” (Booklist) by the author featured in Echoes of the Empire: Beyond Genghis Khan “Enticing . . . hard to put down.”—Associated Press The Mongol queens of the thirteenth century ruled the largest empire the world has ever known. The daughters of the Silk Route turned their father’s conquests into the first truly international empire, fostering trade, education, and religion throughout their territories and creating an economic system that stretched from the Pacific to the Mediterranean. Yet sometime near the end of the century, censors cut a section about the queens from the Secret History of the Mongols, and, with that one act, the dynasty of these royals had seemingly been extinguished forever, as even their names were erased from the historical record. With The Secret History of the Mongol Queens, a groundbreaking and magnificently researched narrative, Jack Weatherford restores the queens’ missing chapter to the annals of history.

Download Women in Mongol Iran Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book shows the development of women's status in the Mongol Empire from its original homeland in Mongolia up to the end of the Ilkhanate of Iran in 1335. Taking a thematic approach, the chapters show a coherent progression of this development and contextualise the evolution of the role of women in medieval Mongol society. The arrangement serves as a starting point from where to draw comparison with the status of Mongol women in the later period. Exploring patterns of continuity and transformation in the status of these women in different periods of the Mongol Empire as it expanded westwards into the Islamic world, the book offers a view on the transformation of a nomadic-shamanist society from its original homeland in Mongolia to its settlement in the mostly sedentary-Muslim Iran in the mid-13th century.

Download The Fall of the Mongol Empire Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
As spectacular as its creation was, the fall of the Mongol Empire was just as remarkable. Its descent into chaos was signaled by inter-family rebellion across the four khanates established by Genghis Khan. As weaker Mongol leaders struggled to retain control, drought, flood, famine, and the bubonic plague eventually contributed to the collapse of each khanate. As this volume amply demonstrates, though the Mongols were fierce warriors, their legacy also includes a culture of honor and discipline, centralized government structure, trade promotion and communication routes, and religious tolerance—all of which helped spread wealth, information, and technology across two continents.

Download Batu, Khan of the Golden Horde Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Very little is understood about the Mongol conquest of Russia, the attack wing of the Empire. Russian historians have been silent on the subject. Here is the story of Batu Khan, grandson of the man known as The Conqueror, the most talented and able of Chinggis Khan's descendants.Batu was a true nomad prince, having spent his early military career being trained in the Imperial Guards. He was to distinguish himself in battle, with the greatest strategist of the Mongol Army, the great General Subudei, riding with him. In the winter of 1239-40, Batu and his forces completed the subjugation of the southern steppes. Kiev, the mother of Russian cities was taken and destroyed on December 6th, 1240. After the Russian Campaign, the lands of the Mongols extended from the Pacific to the Mediterranean and the Danube, and north to the Land of Darkness, the forest zone, where the sun did not shine for much of the year. Batu could have become the ruler, but he had no intention of moving into the civilized world. He liked growing rich from trade on the Silk Road. The designated successors of Chinggis Khan were weak men and were plunging the empire into bankruptcy and ill-considered wars. Batu made an alliance with the Princess Sorghagtani, the most remarkable woman of her age. In a coup d'état, Batu and Sorghagtani removed the house of Ogodei from the throne and crowned the son of Sorghagtani. Two of her sons were to become emperor, including Khubilai Khan. The consequences have significance to the present day. This is a scoop. This is the story.The Mongols ruled Russia for a period of two hundred years until the time of Ivan the Terrible, the first of the Romanov czars. It was not so much that they conquered, but that they never went away
