The Khongirad was the main consort clan of the Borjigin and provided numerous Empresses and consorts. There were five minor non-Khonggirad inputs from the maternal side which passed on to the Dayan Khanid aristocracy of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia. The first was the Keraite lineage added through Kublai Khan's mother Sorghaghtani Beki which linked the Borjigin to the Nestorian Christian tribe of Cyriacus Buyruk Khan. The second was the Turkic Karluk lineage added through Toghon Temur Khan's mother Mailaiti which linked the Borjigin to Bilge Kul Qadir Khan (840-893) of the Kara-Khanid Khanate and ultimately to the Lion-Karluks as well as the Ashina tribe of the 6th century Göktürks. The third was the Korean lineage added through Biligtü Khan's mother Empress Gi (1315-370) which linked the Borjigin to the Haengju Gi clan and ultimately to King Jun of Gojeoson (262-184 BC) and possibly even further to King Tang of Shang (1675-1646 BC) through Jizi. The fourth was the Esen Taishi lineage added through Bayanmunkh Jonon's mother Tsetseg Khatan which linked the Borjigin more firmly to the Oirats. The fifth was the Aisin-Gioro lineage added during the Qing Dynasty. To the west, Genghisid Khans received daughters of the Byzantine emperor in marriage. From the marriage of Maria Palaiologina to Abaqa Khan (1234-1282) issued their daughter Theodora Arachantloun and also possibly Oljath the Queen consort of Georgia. Maria Palaiologina was related through her grandmother to Irene Angelina (1181-1208) who in her turn is a direct ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II (through Maria of Swabia) and many other Western European monarchs. While this Byzantine-Anatolian route makes the Genghisids distant lateral relatives of European royalty a more direct but sparse line of descent can be established through the northern, Russian route where Prince Gleb (1237-1278), for example, married Feodora Sartaqovna the daughter of Sartaq Khan, a great-grandson of Genghis Khan. Their descendants can be found in the Belosselsky-Belozersky family.
