할하와 오이라드 몽골 혼인 관계 원류

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the continuous marital relationship between the Chinggisid lineage, which was formed in the early 12th century, and the Oyirad tribe until the 17th century, by introducing several cases of marriages that took place between them. As confirmed in The Secret History of the Mongols, the marital relationship with the Chinggisid lineage accelerated Oyirad’s incorporation into the Mongol Empire. However, this marital relationship did not end there, and Oyirad strengthened its position within Mongols by establishing marital relationships with the descendants of Juchi, Chagatai, and Tolui, especially the Hülegü and Arigh Bukha lineages, over several generations. This paved the way for Oyirad to support the Arigh Bukha lineage, including Enke Jorightu Khan, Gün Temür, and others, at the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century, and to rise to power as a short but powerful lord Esen Khan who unified the East and West Mongols. This article aims to reconstruct the traces of the Oyirad as a main character in the Mongolian history through the marital relationships that lasted for several centuries between them.
