THE SUCCESSORS OF GENGHIS KHAN
First Son ofChaghatai Khan—Mochi-Tebe
The mother of this Mochi-Yebe was a slave-girl in the ordo of
Yesiiliin Khatun. One night she was laying the bedclothes and the
khatun had gone out. Chaghatai pulled her to him and made her with
child. For this reason he did not hold Mochi-Yebe of much account
and gave him fewer troops and less territory. He had eleven sons as
follows.
First Son—Teguder
It was this Teguder who was sent from the ulus of Chaghatai to
accompany Hiilegii Khan to Persia. He remained here, and in the
reign of Abaqa Khan [he] rose in rebellion and made for the mountains
of Georgia, where he wandered in the forests with the emirs of Abaqa
Khan at his heels. He was captured by Shiremun Noyan, the son of
Chormaghun, and brought to Abaqa Khan, who pardoned him. For
a time he wandered about here alone and then died.2
Second Son—Ahmad
This Ahmad was in attendance on Baraq. When Baraq fled across
the river his army was scattered, and every detachment withdrew
into a different corner. Ahmad set out for Besh-Baliq. Baraq, who
was ill, followed him upon a litter, sending Te'iilder, who was the
commander of a thousand, in advance. When he came up with Ahmad
he tried to coax him to turn back, but Ahmad was violent, and in the
end they came to blows, and Ahmad was killed. He had three sons:
'Umar, Mubarak-Shah, and Mo'etii.
Third Son— Tekshi
He had a son called Tabudughar, who had four sons: Toghan,
Hoqolqu, Qpriqtai, and Qutluq- Temur.
Fourth Son—Nom-Quli
Fifth Son—Buk-Buqa
Sixth Son—Temuder
