His Childhood

Genghis Khan was born as Temujin, to Yesügei, the leader of the Khamag Mongol tribe, and his wife, Hoelun, in Delüün Boldog. It is estimated that he was born in the latter half of the twelfth century.
Genghis lived with his parents, as well as his siblings. After his father was betrayed and killed by representatives of the another tribe, Temujin wanted to become the chief. However, he was rejected because he was very young. The family lived in dire poverty, foraging for food all by themselves.
During this period Mongolian tribes were not united, and the only way of forming allies was by marrying their children to other rulers.
