In this final part in my series on the daughters of Chinggis Khan, we look at the most confusing, and scandalous episodes of all. Here we focus on the youngest daughter with Börte, Altalun, as well as her halfsisters Altun Beki and Alajin Beki, and the prolonged and difficult effort to marry daughters to the Uyghur royal house. Murders, conspiracy, and more await.
