Khashin (Qashi)

Khashin (c. 1215–c. 1236) was the fifth son of Ögedei Khan and a grandson of Genghis Khan. His name came from Hexi, the Mongol name for the Tangut kingdom of Western Xia, against which Genghis was campaigning at his birth.

Like his father he was a heavy drinker and died young while Ögedei still lived; after his death his name became taboo and the Hexi lands were called only Tangut. His son Kaidu later led the House of Ögedei in its long wars against Kublai.
