Munkh Khan was the eldest son of Chingis Khan's youngest son Tulay, who had served as temporary ruler in the period right after Chingis Khan's death. Although lesser known that Chingis and Kublai Khan, Munkh Khan is tremendously loved and revered in Mongolia today. Munkh was a great statesman who oversaw the increase of his empire until it became the largest in the world at the time. However, China with its riches beckoned, and Munkh died in 1258 during his trip south to conquer China.. |
