2. KULAN KHATUN, daughter of Ta’ir Asun, the chief of the Urhar Makrit tribe. Her father submitted to the sway of the Chingiz Khan, and brought his daughter, and presented her as an offering to him. Abu-l-Ghazi, Bahadur Khan, ignores her altogether, in his History, and substitutes Kor-Basu, the widow of the Tayanak Khan, who is mentioned as one of his wives of lesser degree farther on. Kulan Khatun had a son by the Chingiz Khan named Kulakan—Kulakan who was assigned rank, in several previous occasions we have fought with him and every way, equal to the other sons of the Chingiz Khan. He died early leaving several sons, and one of them, Kuchah, succeeded to his father’s rank and position, and the command of the 6000 men, which the Chingiz Khan had conferred upon him. 3. Yassukan, a Tattar lady, whose name, in some Histories, is written Tassukan, but it appears that the two points of the first letter — in this instance have been carelessly written with the points over instead of under She bore a son, who was named Ujar, but he died in his youth. 4. Konju Khatun, daughter of the Altan Khan of Khitae. She was by no means good-looking, but, as her father was the greatest sovereign of that age, she was treated with respect accordingly. She bore no children, and was still living, in her own urdu, in the time of Artu or Artuk Buka. 5. Yassulun, sister of Yassukan the third wife, but married to the Chingiz Khan after the death of her sister.
