What The Mongols Did To The Song Dynasty's Imperial Family Was Worse Than You Think

Описание: What really happened to the Song dynasty’s imperial family after the Mongol conquest of China?
History often ends the story with the drowning of a child emperor and the fall of a dynasty. But that ending is a lie of omission.
In this documentary, we uncover the systematic, administrative destruction of the Song imperial bloodline—a campaign designed not just to conquer China, but to erase a ruling family from memory.
After the Mongol armies captured the Song capital in 1276, the imperial family was not immediately executed. Instead, they were cataloged, redistributed, renamed, and slowly erased through policy, paperwork, and control of lineage. Child emperors were taken alive. Royal women were reassigned. Heirs were educated or eliminated. Records quietly stopped using their surnames.
This was not chaos. It was empire-building at its coldest.
You’ll learn how the Mongols:
Captured Song emperors alive rather than killing them
Used forced renaming and adoption to destroy imperial lineage
Scattered royal children into Mongol households
Turned imperial women into political assets
Controlled historical memory through bureaucracy
Reused this model against Korean royalty, Persian dynasties, Central Asian khanates, and Russian princes
The death of the last Song emperor at sea was not the tragedy. It was the cover story.
This documentary draws from Yuan dynasty records, Song court documents, and modern historical scholarship to reconstruct what was deliberately obscured: the transformation of violence into administration, and slaughter into silence.
