Tarakai, Princess of Mongolia (Premysloides Dynasty)

Tarakai, Princess of Mongolia, Empress of Roman Empire
For many times, late historians mistaken Tarakai, daughter of Hulagu Khan, with Taraqai, his son. Tarakai was daughter of one of Hulegu concubine, Nikolaia, Russian girl enslaved in northern Caucasus by Mongols.

She married Emperor Romanos in 1250 as one of Hulagu Khan conditions to continue military alliance with Roman Empire. From her bloodline, all late Emperors of Roman Empire had blood of Gengish Khan, who was her great-grandfather.

According most accounts, she was more similar to her Russian mother, than her Mongolian father.

She is among Imperial Orthodox martyrs, as she was tortured, murdered and mutilated by rebelling army of prince Andreas Angelos.
