Börte was the senior and first wife of Temüjin. She was revered by the Mongols after he became the Great Khan, and she was crowned the Grand Empress. As Genghis Khan continued to expand his influence and empire, Börte remained behind and assisted Genghis' brother Temüge in ruling the Mongol homeland. Other wives accompanied Genghis Khan on his campaigns, while she ruled her own territory and managed her own court.
Börte is often portrayed as "a beautiful woman dressed in a white silken gown, with gold coins in her hair, holding a white lamb, and riding a white steed".
Ghengis' siblings via his mother, Hoelun, was born to the Olkhunut tribe. Engaged to Chiledu of the Mergid confederation, but was kidnapped by Yesügei on her way back to the Mergid camp after her wedding around 1159 AD. Yesügei made Hoelun his chief wife.

A second wife of Yesugei's, Sochigel, gave birth to two sons, Behter and Belgutei.
