Statue of Chagatai Khan

Chagatai Khan (c. 1184 – 1242) was a son of Genghis Khan and a prominent figure in the earlyMongol Empire. The second son of Genghis's wifeBörte, Chagatai was renowned for his masterful knowledge ofMongol custom and law and his harsh temperament. He was appointed to military commands alongside his brothers during theMongol conquest of the Jin dynasty in 1211 and theinvasion of the Khwarazmian Empire in 1219. After the campaign, Chagatai was granted large tracts of conquered land in Central Asia, which he ruled until his death, often quarrelling with officials likeMahmud Yalavach. Chagatai's inflexibility, most notably never accepting the legitimacy of his elder brotherJochi, excluded him from succession to Genghis's throne. He was nevertheless a key figure in ensuring the stability of the empire during the reign of his younger brotherÖgedei Khan, whom he advised. Chagatai died shortly after Ögedei in 1242; his descendants later ruled his territories as the eponymousChagatai Khanate. (Full article...)
