Marriage as Political Strategy and Cultural Expression is the first
comprehensive study of Mongolian royal marriages from World Empire
(1206-1279) to the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) in Asia. This study
examines the Mongolian royal family's marriage strategies and the
political implications of these royal marriages, specifically, the
intermarriages between the Mongolian royal house and its allies,
including the Onggirat, the Oirat, and other Mongol peoples as well
as the Uighur State and Korea in Central and East Asia. This book
concludes that the short lifespans of Mongol royalty after Khubilai
Khan were the result of consanguineous marriage and inbreeding -
genetic factors that contributed to the collapse of the Mongol
dynasty.
