Note 2.—Such a compact is related to have existed reciprocally between the family of Chinghiz and that of the chief of the Ḳunguráts; but I have not found it alleged of the Kerait family except by Friar Odoric. We find, however, many princesses of this family married into that of Chinghiz. Thus three nieces of Aung Khan became wives respectively of Chinghiz himself and of his sons Juji and Tului; she who was the wife of the latter, Serḳuḳteni Bigi, being the mother of Mangú, Hulaku, and Kúblái. Duḳuz Khatun, the Christian wife of Hulaku, was a grand-daughter of Aung Khan.
