What was Jochi's alleged reason for disqualification from succession?

  • Possible illegitimacy

  • Lack of support

  • No interest in ruling

  • Laziness

Answer

Jochi's alleged disqualification stemmed from doubts surrounding his legitimacy as Genghis Khan's son. Whispers persisted that he was conceived during his mother's captivity prior to her union with Genghis Khan. This raised questions about his true paternity and lineage, casting a shadow over his right to succeed his father as the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.
