Temuge attempted to enter the main political arena after the death of Ögedei Khan, his nephew and son of Genghis Khan, in 1241. At that time, Ogedei's son Güyük Khan was engaged in so-called "Western campaign" in Russia and Europe, so Temuge-otchigin tried to seize the throne, but he was intervened by Töregene, Ogedei's widow and Güyük's mother. After the 1246 kurultai elected Güyük as great khan, Temuge was executed.
