Töregene Khatun
After Ögedei died in 1241, Möge Khatun took power.  She was one of Ögedei's widows and she had been one of Genghis Khan's wives before that. With the help of Chagatai and her sons, Töregene took complete power as regent in spring 1242 as Great Khatun. She removed her husband's ministers and made new people she liked ministers. The most important minister was  Fatima, a Tajik or Persian woman who was a prisoner of war from the Middle Eastern campaign. She was a Shiite Muslim who was moved from the city of Meshed to Mongolia even though she did not want to.
