Wrestling, War, and 40,000 Horses: The Legend of Khutulun, Mongolia’s Warrior Princess

Описание: #Khutulun #MongolHistory #WomenInHistory #WarriorPrincess #EpicHistory #MongolianEmpire
She was the princess no man could defeat. Khutulun, great-great-granddaughter of Genghis Khan, stunned the medieval world by vowing to only marry a man who could defeat her in wrestling. Every suitor who tried—princes, warriors, nobles—was thrown into the dirt, forced to pay her a hundred horses for their loss. By the height of her fame, Khutulun had amassed an astonishing forty thousand horses and an undefeated reputation.
But her story goes far beyond wrestling matches. Khutulun was also a Mongol general, riding into battle alongside her father Kaidu with ten thousand cavalry under her command. Chronicles describe her as a hawk on the battlefield, dragging enemy soldiers from their saddles and leading charges that terrified even the most seasoned warriors. Her legend reached Europe through Marco Polo, who marveled at the warrior princess who defied every expectation.
Yet her independence made her enemies. Denied succession after her father’s death, betrayed by whispers and rumors, Khutulun’s story became twisted—but her spirit remained unconquered. She lives on as a symbol of strength, freedom, and rebellion against tradition.
