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)[reply]

Not Mongha, But Munkhe or Mongkhe is correct in Mongolia. It means Eternal/Forever.--Enerelt (talk) 08:28, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

image

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Möngke vs Mongke

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

"Namo from Kashmir was made chief of all the Buddhist monks in the Empire" ?! --77.183.98.190 (talk) 16:58, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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?
