Lex Fridman Podcast · #476 – Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire · 1 Aug 2025 podcast

And he understood that you needed complete, total loyalty and trust with everybody around you.

And I think for this reason, he was willing to accept the plea of Jamukha.

And when Chinggis Khan was asking him to come back and to be his shadow and to be his safety guard again,

maybe that was just a formality that he knew would be rejected.

Or maybe when Jamal Khan offered to be killed without shedding blood, that was a formality that he thought would not be followed through.

I would say in both negative and positive ways, it was the most important relationship of his adulthood aside from Bursa.

But that relationship really did not seem to have many negative aspects.

They sometimes disagreed on things, but small things.

So she was by him and she was positive in every regard so far as we know forever.

Although she was not submissive, but she was always on his side.

And Chamaka...

It was just a little too hot-headed for me, you know, I mean, in my evaluation of him, that these things like, oh, we're gonna drop down on the market and we're gonna come through the smoke hole, kill everybody and all, and he had a flair for the dramatic, even in a way giving the gold belt to Mujin.

But Jamukha also, he explained himself at the end of life.

And he said, you know, we both lost our father, but I also lost my mother.

And you had a strong mother to raise you.

I did not.

And he said, you had Burshta.

You have a very strong wife to help you.

And my wife...

He just used a word like prattler, like she just sort of complains and prattles along, and we did not have a relationship.
