Summary

The widow-queen of the Mongols, Mandukhai, seizes the reins of her own fate, entreating the spirits of sky and earth to help her in her quest to reunite her broken people and return sovereignty and glory to Mongolia. Oh, and she also marries a 7-year-old, which is a little strange, but makes sense in context. Time Period Covered: 1470~1480 CE Major Historical Figures: Mandukhai Khatun [ca. 1449-1510] Dayan Khan (Batu Mongke) [1462-1543?] Gen. Une-Bolod [?-?] Ismayil Taishi [d. 1486] Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
