"Nay," responded the Khan, "to crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet—to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. That is best."
Harold Lamb - Genghis Khan, the emperor of all men (1925)
Lifted for the Conan movie by Milius and nothing to do with REH, although it fits the character in the end. He meets with someone named "Genjis" (Kobe) in the comics, however.

Una sensibile percentuale dei turisti avventurosi che raggiungono la capitale mongola di Ulan Bator, dopo un breve periodo di acclimatamento, tendono a riportare l’impressione combinata di fattori ed elementi di sicuro interesse, accompagnati da un latente senso di degrado situazionale. Con pochi elementi culturali distintivi a dominare lo scenario urbano, notoriamente sovraffollato e dalla qualità ... Leggi tutto

✧ Chagatai Khan ✧
Chagatai Khan (c. 1184 – 1242) was a son of Genghis Khan and a prominent figure in the early Mongol Empire. The second son of Genghis's wife Börte, Chagatai was renowned for his masterful knowledge of Mongol custom and law and his harsh temperament. He was appointed to military commands alongside his brothers during the Mongol c...

The Mongol conqueror #Genghis Khan's grandson Hulegu captured #Baghdad and ended the Abbasid #caliphate in the city in 1258.
I just read a text that asserts that around 25 years later, the Muslim vizier Shams al-Din Juvayni was involved in a plot to restore the caliphate, but he was put to death when Hulegu's grandson Arghun overthrew his uncle Teguder Ahmad. This is probably just slander, but it is surprising slander in a #Syriac text written in the late 1310s!
I'm (re)reading the History of Mar Yahballaha and Rabban Sawma.
Meanwhile, very far to the east, a woman of the #Christian Kerait tribe named Sorqaqtani Beki married the youngest of the four main sons of #Genghis Khan. She became an informal political leader, securing the election of her son Mongke as Khagan in 1251. She gave patronage to Christians and Muslims. Her death prevented her from mediating the Mongol Civil War (between two of her sons), leading to the breakup of the empire in 1260.

I like approaching new regions and epochs of #history through well-researched #HistoricalNovels.
In the case of #Temüjin who became #Genghis Khan and his heirs, I can recommend the fascinating 4 books of #ConnIggulden's #Conqueror Series: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conqueror_(novel_series)
You can check them out at the #InternetArchive, which could use some donations in its legal battles against the media multinationals.
