Retelling the well-known story of Chinggis Khan (commonly known as Genghis Khan) and his conquests and empire, this book illuminates the pivotal roles that women played in politics, empire, and succession. As such, this is a key read for scholars of Mongol history, world history, and medieval women and gender, as well as for a general audience.

What were the attitudes to diplomacy and kingship in the medieval Islamic world? Anne Broadbridge explores the ideologies of two different powers, the Mongol Khanates of the Golden Horde in Iran and Anatolia and the Mamluk Sultans of Syria and Egypt, who ruled from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century.
