Execution of Ambaghai Khan (c. 1156)
On the Mongol Empire map as “Ambaghai Khan betrayed”
c. 1156 — The Tatars hand the Mongols’ khan to the Jin, who nail him to a wooden mule to die. His last message — “avenge me” — becomes a fifty-year vendetta, and the Jin keep feeding it: paying tribe to raid tribe, culling the steppe every few years so no khan can rise.
