The Borjigin family was the imperial house of the Mongol Empire (and its various successor states), dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries. Descent from Genghis Khan in East Asia is well documented by Chinese sources.
Börte was born around 1161 into the Olkhonud of Khongirad. This tribe was friendly to the Borjigin tribe, into which Temüjin was born. She was the daughter of Dei-Sechen and Chotan. She was described as having a "fair complexion", with "light in her face and fire in her eyes", meaning that she was intelligent.
Most of what we know of Temujin Borjigin who became Genghis Khan comes from the Secret History of the Mongols, a literary work written after Genghis’ death in 1227. The Secret History is a rich source of Mongolian folklore, poetry and tall tales as well as historical elements about Genghis and his early conquests over the Mongolian tribes.
