Qutuqtu

Qutuqtu (Chinese: 忽覩都, Mongolian: Хутагт) was the second son of Tolui and Lingqun Khatun (daughter of Kuchlug). He was the grandson of Genghis Khan.[1] Although he took part in Ogedei Khan's invasion of Song,[2] Qutuqtu was killed in battle against the Song general Meng Yu (孟珙).

This article is about the son of Tolui. For the Yuan emperor, see Qutuqtu Khan.

Family

Although Qutuqtu left no male descendants, he had a daughter, Kelmish Agha, who was instrumental in cementing the Yuan-Golden Horde alliance. Kelmish, married to Saljidai Gurkhan, gave birth to a daughter, Oljai Khatun. Oljai married Mengu-Timur (a descendant of Jochi) and gave birth to Toqta Khan of the Golden Horde.

Qutuqtu's full-sister, Ile Temür, married Pars Buqa, grandson of Quduka Beki of the Oirat tribe.[3]
