Arghun (c. 1258–1291), or Argun, ruler of the Mongol empire's Ilkhanate
Arghun |
Although, Mongke appointed him to his former position after his accession in 1252, the Emperor summoned Arghun to answer a charge of treason.
This followed a request by Arghun to his grand-uncle Kublai, following the loss of his favourite wife Bolgana ("Zibeline"): Arghun asked Kublai Khan to send him a relative of his dead wife, and Kublai chose the 17-year-old Kökötchin ("Blue, or Celestial, Dame").
