And Batu never tried to become the Qa'an (Great Khan), but rather supported Möngke and later Ariq Böke.

we talked about Batu not Hülegü as the son of Jochi
Okey. I read from Jack Weatherfords Genghis Khan but it wasent very clear about Batus intentions. i guess i filled in a little.
it just says as the second oldest of Chinggis Khaans grandsons and the most capable one he had the biggest chans of becoming the next Khagan after Ögedei. And the campaign in Europe could have been partly becuse of that. Among other things.
but as he helped Toluis family line to power he did alot for the mongol empire. so i guess i cant find much bad things about him.
I saw you have a statue of him in turkey while looking information.
