'Khutulun was the daughter of Kaidu Khan, a royal descendent of Genghis Khan who is known in history as one of the most powerful military commanders and influential rulers. Khutulun was born as the cousin of Kublai Khan at the height of civil war in the vast Mongol empire. By the time she was born, the Mongols ruled the largest part of the world, a gift they got in inheritance from Genghis Khan, who was Khutulun’s great-great-grandfather.

She was born in 1260 and by the time she was an adult, her father was ruling the entirety of Central Asia and large parts of India and Middle East as well. She grew up in the household with 14 brothers and hence, she received training in war-fares just like any other boy in the family. Her father was warring with her cousin Kublai Khan and the historical documents say that she was probably the fiercest warrior in her father’s army. Her father also trusted her counsel in the political matters as well. Although the identity of her husband has been a cause for debate among the historians, it is said that she wished to marry the man who could defeat her in wrestling and no man could ever beat her. "The superb warrior" also insisted that any man who wished to marry her must defeat her in wrestling. Winning horses from competitions and the wagers of would-be suitors, it is said that she gathered a herd numbering the ten thousand.

Nevertheless, it is said that of all Kaidu’s children, Khutulun was the favorite, and the one from whom he most sought advice and political support. According to some accounts, he tried to name her as his successor to the khanate before he died in 1301. However, his choice was declined due to her male relatives."

Kaidus groans in annoyance under his breath before he starts to mock his sister's voice quietly whilst neatening up the room he was in. " 'Kai, i'm gonna do some stupid shit somewhere you can't help if i need it...Kai, i'm gonna go do something i never might come back from, see you...no? Why?' The fuck does she mean why..."

Maybe he's talking to himself a little louder than intended but he's somewhat...quite, frustrated, he can't be blamed.

KHUTULUN // PRINCESS OF THE MONGOLS

“She was a Mongol noblewoman and wrestler, the most famous daughter of Kaidu, a cousin of Kublai Khan. Her father was “most pleased by her abilities”, and she accompanied him on military campaigns. She was described by Marco Polo as a superb warrior, one who could ride into enemy ranks and snatch a captive as easily as a hawk snatches a chicken. She insisted that any man who wished to marry her must defeat her in wrestling. Winning horses from competitions and the wagers of would-be-suitors, it is said that she gathered a herd numbering ten thousand.”

Fun Fact: Khutulun!

No one’s asked but Today You Learned about Khutulun!

Khutulun was the favorite daughter of Qaidu/Kaidu, one of Kublai Khan’s cousins. She was famous for being an incredible warrior, to the point that she refused to marry anyone who could not defeat her in wrestling (maybe she learned it from her fourteen brothers?). Which was apparently very difficult, because she won a lot of horses this way. She did eventually marry, although the identity of her husband is currently unknown!

Apparently Khutulun’s father was so fond of her, and believed in her potential as a leader and a warrior, that he tried to have her named as his heir. It didn’t work out–she ended up supporting one of her brothers. She died in her forties, which apparently led to some people suggesting she was assassinated.

Carlo Gozzi apparently made a play about her in the 1700’s. She’s also played by Claudia Kim in the Netflix series Marco Polo.

It's women's history month, that's your favorite womanly historical fact?

You pick the best person to ask because when I was little, my mom got me a book called rejected princesses. Do you know how sometimes movies will be based on princesses from real life or fairytales well, my mama found a book about all of the princesses, who probably wouldn’t be in a movie because they’re so bad ass!

 There are so many to pick from that. It’s hard to do the picking, but there was once a Mongolian princess who had 10,000 horses.  She was Genghis Khan‘s great great granddaughter. Her father Kaidu favored old ways of writing and shooting and stuff because he was nomadic and her uncle was into political things and they got bored and started to go at war with each other so her dad relied on one person above all others to try and win the war which at this point has been going on for 30 years, she had 14 brothers and he picked her. She was known to be incredibly skilled in horsemanship and archery.

Marco Polo described her like this. Sometimes she would leave her father side and make a dash for the host of the enemy and seek some man there out and pounce on him like a hawk on a bird and carry him to her father and she did that lots of times.

Back then that’s pretty bad ass just a girl coming out of nowhere in the middle of a battle and snatching you off your horse and bringing you back to her dad!

But apparently her greatest skill was wrestling they had wrestling matches constantly and if you won people thought you were gifted by the gods!

The princess was known to be undefeated, and that’s based on Marco Polo’s account of it to her.

Her dad wanted her to be married off, but she refused to do it without her potential suitor being able to beat her in wrestling, and she made up a standing offer: beat her and she’d marry you, lose and you give her 100 horses. She ended up with 10,000 horses and no husband! One guy got so cocky he said he gave her 1000 horses instead of the usual 100 and he got his butt kicked! 

Anyway that’s one of the coolest women’s history facts I know!

THE WARRIOR PRINCESS - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Film Movement

SYNOPSIS: Descended from Genghis Khan and skilled in all forms of military combat, Princess Khutulun (Tsedoo Munkhbat) is one of the fiercest warriors in the Mongol Empire. Despite her talents on the battlefield, Khutulun is still expected to marry, and her father, Kaidu Khan, arranges for a union with the prince of Pamir. But on the night when their emissaries meet, Kaidu is ambushed by an assassin sent by his sworn enemy Khubilai, and the Golden Sutra is stolen. Vowing revenge, Khutulun and her clan set out on an epic journey to retrieve the sacred text and restore peace to their homeland. -Press Notes

REVIEW: Based on true events, the Warrior Princess has beautiful landscapes and choreographed fight scenes. I liked the introduction of the princess as a child and how she was able to keep her allies close to her since they were raised together. The children were able to see what a true warrior she was and therefore were loyal to their princess. They became her allies throughout the film, willing to fight to the end with their princess. The cinematography was filled with lush fields and gorgeous mountains. Throughout the film the princess holds her own, showing strength and skill during fights and archery.

The language is Mongolian but the subtitles are clear and easy to follow. They are not distracting nor do they take away from the beauty of the film. The movie does not hold back on the past, showing the depth of how easily betrayal can come to a peaceful tribe.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the scenes with the princess’ grandmother and how she molded her to become the warrior who would honor her family. I also liked that they included the Golden Sutra with the original symbol that is called Khas which was passed down by the great Khans including Gengis Khan. This symbol is a symbol of statehood to the Mongolians. It is also used in Tibetan culture and is very honorable.

This film entranced me with the beauty of the land and the strength of its characters. It made me want to read more about the Mongolian culture and to seek out literature about the great Khans in the past. I would easily add it to my foreign film collection.
