Oh, and that Anchen guy who's name keeps popping up? Anchen was the brother of Borte, Genghis Khan's chief wife and the mother of his most important offspring. Everyone in this list is descended from him in what seems like five ways.

Here's something kinda cool, though. Due to the Mongol exogamous intermarriage policy and tendancy to install their princes and princesses, cuckoo bird-like, in subjugated nations, there were nobly-born descendants of Genghis Khan from one end of the empire to the other. Therefore, Chungseon of Korea and the princes David and Konstantin Feodorovich of Yaroslavl were born thousands of miles away from one another and possibly never knew of the other's existances. But David and Konstantin were third cousins twice removed to Chungseon, thanks to a common descent from Genghis Khan and Borte (or just Borte if you want to be a pedant about it).
