Yesugei Baghatur or Yesükhei (Traditional Mongolian: ᠶᠢᠰᠦᠭᠡᠢ ᠪᠠᠭᠠᠲᠤᠷ; Modern Mongolian: Есүхэй баатар, Yesukhei baatar, [ˈjosuxɛː ˈbaːtər]; Chinese: 也速該; pinyin: Yěsùgāi) (b. 1134 – d. 1171) was a major chief of the Khamag Mongol confederation and the father of Temüjin, who later became known as Genghis Khan.
When Temüjin was 9 years old, his father Yesügei went in search of a wife for him. He set out to find a girl from Temüjin's mother's people, the Olqunu'ut, but along the way ran into Börte's father, Dei-Sechen. Dei-Sechen explained he had a dream the previous night about Yesügei arriving with his son and believed this was a good omen. [4]

Toghrul was, like Jamukha, blood-brother of Temujin. He led the coalition against Merkits when Temujin's wife Börte was abducted in 1183, [9] joined by his brother Jakha Gambhu, Jamukha and Temujin. Two of the tribal chiefs, Dair Usun and Toqto'a fled the camp, probably informed by people who had seen the army move.
The letters, which were delivered to Whitmer’s office by Temujin Kensu’s legal team on Dec. 5, cast doubt on the sensational theory presented at trial that the then-23-year-old could have ...
Both Temüjin and Behter had claims to be their father's heir: although Temüjin was the child of Yesügei's chief wife, Behter was at least two years older. There was even the possibility that, as permitted under levirate law, Behter could marry Hö'elün upon attaining his majority and become Temüjin's stepfather. [ 29 ]
