| Abstract |
Sorqaγtani Beki, wife of Činggis Qan’s fourth son Tolui, was one of the most important figures in the Yuan Dynasty. However the problems with the dates of her birth and death remain to be solved. This paper investigates some literature and comes to a conclusion that Sorqaγtani Beki was born in 1199 and died in 1252 when she was 54 years old. It also asserts that the age factor is significant to re-examine the life and deeds of the noble lady. In addition, other issues related to her death are taken into consideration, too. |
