Möngke Khan

Eldest son of Tolui and Sorghaghtani, fourth Great Khan and the last to be widely recognized as such across the whole empire. His election shifted the throne from the Ögedeids to the Toluids in a coup his mother had spent twenty years preparing. He resumed the conquest of Song China and dispatched his brother Hulagu against the Abbasid Caliphate. Died on campaign in Sichuan, perhaps of dysentery, perhaps of an arrow.
