Khabul Khan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Khabul Khan (or Qabul Qan) was a Mongol Khan and grandfather to Yesugei, and thus great-grandfather to Genghis Khan[1]. Qabul khan successfully repelled the invasions of Jin Dynasty. During a treaty, Qabul is reported to have pulled the beard of the Jin Emperor. Though Qabul khan had 7 sons, he nominated Ambaghai, a son of Sengun Bilge from Taichuud clan, as his successor[2].
