Abstract

The purpose of the study is to present the role of Christian women in the Mongol Empire, as well as their role and influence on the subject peoples in the politics of the Mongol khans in the 13th-14th centuries and the Mongol world as a whole-Pax Mongolica. Sorghaghtani Beki and Uruk, were among the many influential khatuns who directed the hearts of their husbands and sons, the Mongol khans, to welcome and promote the Christian communities in their lands. These Christian women who had an influential role and position in the Mongol court were the mothers and wives of influential rulers of the time. Khatuns, not only played a powerful political role in the politics of their husbands or sons but also in the conversion of their subordinate domains, while also contributing to the spread of Christianity in Europe. They stood out not only for their personal but also for their political and patronage activities.
