Yesugei was chief of the and Beigutai . He was poisoned by Tartar s while sharing a meal on the way home from finding his son Temujin (Genghis Khan) a wife. Yesugei's wife was Oyelun (Oelun, Ho’elun, Hoelun ), a daughter of the Olkunut forest tribe. Oyelun was abducted by Yesugei and his brothers from her newlywed husband of the Merkit tribe as they were traveling back to the Merkit camp. Yesugei then made Oyelun his chief wife, a rare honor since Khans had several wives, and only one could bear his heirs. EXTERNAL LINKS |
