Genghis Khan and the Yassa Law Code

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Genghis Khan's Yassa, the legal code that bound the Mongol Empire together. They discuss its origins, key provisions like religious tolerance and mail protection, and its enforcement through summary execution. The episode also covers how the Yassa evolved under Genghis's successors and its contested legacy—whether it was a formal written code or an oral tradition. References include the Secret History of the Mongols, Juvayni, and the role of the Yassa in shaping Mongol justice and daily life. #GenghisKhan #Yassa #MongolEmpire #MongolLaw #SteppeJustice #SecretHistoryOfTheMongols #Juvayni #Tengri #MongolYam #Kurultai #Gedei #KublaiKhan #MongolJustice #PaxMongolica #MongolConquests #CentralAsia #History #FexingoHistory #SteppeWarriors #YassaCode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
