The Tragic Fate of Khutulun: the Mongol Wrestler Princess/ Mongolian Princess Documentary

In this video we look at the like of Khutulun (Kutulun, Qutulun), the famous Mongol wrestling princess. Though often dismissed as an exaggeration of Marco Polo, there is much more to her life we can learn from other Islamic accounts of the Middle Ages. Here, we look at her life, context and final fate; and of course, her supposed wrestling career. DONATIONS: Patreon:   / jackmeister   Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/theja...
