Qutui Khatun (Mongolian: Кутуй Хатун, Persian: قوتی or قوتوی) was a Mongol princess and one of the wives of Il-Khan Hulagu, founder of Ilkhanate.
[2] In 1279, she went to Margha to support Christians in restoring the ritual of water blessing during Epiphany, which had been stopped due to rivalry with the Muslims.
She was informed of his death while in Badakhshan (present-day Tajikistan) by Hulagu's son and successor Abaqa Khan.
[3] Tekuder became unpopular among the Mongol elites,[13] the so-called "Old-Mongol" party of Nestorian Christians and Buddhists,[2] who now favoured his nephew Arghun, Abaqa's son.
Tekuder blamed the Nestorian Church of the East for the appeals to Kublai Kahn and threw its Patriarch Yahballaha III into prison, planning to execute him.
[13] A palace revolution broke out after members of the military conspired against Tekuder,[14] and Arghun was released on 4 July.
[14] Qutui Khatun started organising support against the usurper, but Qara'unas attacked and plundered their orda,[16] which was under Arghun's command.
