Chingez Khan

Chingez Khan: (1155-1227)

Chief of the nomadic Mongol tribes of the Gobi Desert initially known as Tamujin. He became famous as Chingez (Genghis) Khan after he had established his sovereignty over a large area and many tribes. Pursuing the Khwarazmi prince Jalal al-Din Mingbarni, Chingez Khan reached the bank of the In-dus River in 1221. Iltutmish avoided getting involved in a conflict with Chingez Khan by tactfully refusing to grant asylum to Ming-barni at his court.
