Oghul Qaimish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oghul Qaimish was the principal wife of Güyük Khan and ruled as regent over the Mongol empire after the death of her husband in 1248. After her opponent Möngke was elected, Oghul Qaimish was summoned to court and arrested. On the grounds that she had used black magic against Möngke, she was drowned.[1]
