Talk:Möngke Khan

Name transliteration
I have come across his name (in Mark Mazower's "Salonika, city of ghosts") as Mongha, and I think this variant can be added to the list at the beginning of the page. Desiderius82 (talk) 13:39, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Not Mongha, But Munkhe or Mongkhe is correct in Mongolia. It means Eternal/Forever.--Enerelt (talk) 08:28, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

what is the source for Möngke's portrait? The style does not look like the Yuan-era paintings of other khagans at all. Yaan (talk) 15:23, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

It seems so strange that someone claimed Mongke was murdered. He died of Dysentria or other epidimic. --Enerelt (talk) 06:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Not murdered. Killed in action. The claim is probably from somewhere related to Fishing town. No idea how sound it is, though. Yaan (talk) 14:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Möngke vs Mongke
What about standardizing on either Möngke or Mongke, rather than switching between them? SiltedTea (talk) 04:58, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

map under Imperial section
The map has a somewhat common error or exaggeration - that the Mongols controlled territory clear to the Arctic - the Mongols never had "authority" that far north nor was Siberia more than very, very sparsely inhabited that far north anyway. I'll find a more reasonable map that reflects the conventional wisdom of modern historians and submit it. HammerFilmFan (talk) 14:35, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Accuracy of comparison to Güyük?
"As Khagan, Möngke seemed to take the legacy of world conquest he had inherited much more seriously than had Güyük." the page on Güyük says he prepared very well for conquest among other things, his letter to Innocent IV reveals the same idea, and he only reigned 2 years, so is this a fair statement?
