جنكزخان قان التتار

Rising through his aunt's dead husband's kingdom, Genghis allied with Kashlukhan against the great Qan, broke him, then seized sole rule — the Tatars held him divine and obeyed utterly. Their first ride was 606; when Khwarazmshah's men broke faith with the traders and killed the envoys, Genghis wiped out him and his realm.
