Tuluid

Tuluid refers to a lineage within the Mongol Empire, specifically descending from Tolui, the fourth son of Genghis Khan. Tolui was granted the Mongol heartland, including the capital Karakorum, upon his father's death, and his descendants became a dominant force in the empire's later history. The most prominent figures from the Tuluid line include Tolui's son, Kublai Khan, who founded the Yuan Dynasty in China, and his grandson, Hulegu Khan, who established the Ilkhanate in Persia. Other significant Tuluid rulers expanded Mongol influence across vast territories, impacting the political and cultural landscapes of Asia and the Middle East for centuries. The succession struggles within the Tuluid family also played a crucial role in the fragmentation of the Mongol Empire into various successor states. The legacy of the Tuluid dynasty is intertwined with the development of vast empires, significant cultural exchanges, and periods of both intense conflict and relative peace across Eurasia.
