Accepted Paper:
Royal Women and the Ordo in Yuan China
Ruth Dunnell
(Kenyon College)
Paper long abstract:
In the light of recent research on royal women across the Mongol empire, especially in Ilkhanid territories, and on the Mongolian institution of the ordo, this research engages the question: what happened to the ordo (and royal ordos) in Yuan China after Qubilai Qan moved his empire's capital to North China in the 1270s? How can research on changes in the Mongolian ordo institution in Yuan China shed light on empire-wide developments, and what do Chinese sources have to offer in this regard?
