Khutulun deserves her own place in history However, even among the standards of all those powerful Mongol women, Khutulun writes a distinct place for herself. Born aboutKhutulun, was the great-great granddaughter of Genghis Khan and a legend in her own right. Unlike her cousin, the emperor Kublai Khan, who relished the comfort and luxuries of the Chinese court, Khutulun chose the rough, nomadic lifestyle — the traditional Mongol way of life. Benevolently imaged as beautiful, and much sought after by men, Khutulun was a woman of extraordinary strength. She mastered the Mongol arts of horse-riding, archery, and wrestling where she eventually became the champion wrestler whom no man could defeat. She also transcended at the cardinal Mongol vocation of warfare. However, it is important to note that it was not unusual for Mongolians to see women on horses or dealing with bows and arrows, but what made Khutulun an anomaly was her excellence, the refinement of her skills among many of her likes. Her father, Qaidu Khan, awarded her a gergee a medal of office that stated the power of the holder as an acknowledgement of her power and independence. She is the only woman recorded to have received that, as it was an authority usually The Warriors Princess for men. Khutulun outperformed all her fourteen brothers since a very early age. It was Khutulun who chose to be the military commander instead, perhaps The Warriors Princess avoid her brothers enmity. Qaidu Khan not only trusted Khutulun on the battlefield, but he also relied on her for advice and support regarding The Warriors Princess administration of the government and the Kingdom. Having been largely victorious on the battlefield and in The Warriors Princess, Khutulun refused to marry until a potential suitor defeated her in wrestling. To compete against her, the opponents had to wager The Warriors Princess horses. If they won, they could marry Khutulun, and if they lost, they had to give away the horses. Many men came forward, but none of them could succeed, and in a follow up, Khutulun kept increasing the size of her herd. According to Marco Polo, a particularly handsome and wealthy prince presented The Warriors Princess for the contest. The anonymous bachelor wagered a thousand horses. Anxious for her marriage, her parents insisted Khutulun to let the prince win. For the love of her parents Khutulun agreed, however, in the rush of competitive excitement she forgot her promise and walked from the match, a thousand horses richer. In the face of humiliation, the handsome prince disappeared, leaving behind the additional thousand horses for her herd. Owing to her unusual way of life, gossips and rumors circled Khutulun — not only from the political and military enemies who could not defeat her, but also the historians and messengers of her time. They alleged that she maintained an incestuous relationship with her father, and therefore would take no man as her husband. To this day, it is unclear and highly debatable as to whom she married, but one thing that remains constant was that she remained undefeated as a wrestler. Liked this post?

The mythology of the show transitioned from that of the Olympian Gods to include Judeo-Christian elements. Eastern religions were touched on as well, with little regard to accurate time-and-place concerns. One episode, "The Way", which loosely interpreted elements of Hinduism as major plot points, generated controversy, requiring the producers to add a disclaimer at the head of the episode and a tag explaining the episode's intentions at its end. Mythological and supernatural locations are presented as equally real, The Warriors Princess places, often accessed through physical portals hidden in the landscape such as lakes and caves. The inhabitants of such places — gods, mythological beings and forces — are for the most part manifested as human characters who can move at will between their domains and the real world.
