'''Jamukha''' ({{lang-mn|Жамуха}}) was a Mongol military and political leader and the chief rival to [[Genghis Khan|Temüjin]] (later [[Genghis Khan]]) in the unification of the [[Mongol]] tribes.

==Biography==
Jamukha was born in the Jadaran, a sub-tribe of the [[Khamag Mongol]] confederation, and Jamukha was an ''anda'' ("childhood friend") and a [[blood brother]] to Temüjin.

According to ''[[The Secret History of the Mongols]]'', when [[Börte]], wife of Temüjin, was abducted by the [[Merkit|Three Merkits]]; [[Wang Khan]], Jamukha and Temüjin combined forces against the Merkits to recover her.

In 1201, the leaders of the thirteen remaining hostile tribes (among them the [[Merkits|Merkit]]<nowiki/>, [[Tatar]], and [[Naimans]]) and the Mongol tribes not allied with Temüjin (Jadaran, [[Taichuud]], and others) assembled a [[kurultai]] and elected Jamukha as [[Khan (title)|Gur Khan]], ''universal ruler'', a title used by the rulers of the [[Kara-Khitan Khanate]]. Jamukha's assumption of this title was the final breach between Temüjin and Jamukha, leading Temüjin to form a coalition of tribes to oppose him. In the fall of that year, a great battle broke out between Jamukha's alliance and the [[Keraite]]-Khamag Mongol alliance at the [[Argun River (Asia)|Ergune]] valley. This decisive battle, known as the [[Battle of the Thirteen sides]], ended with Temüjin's victory and eventual ascension as Khan of all united Mongol tribes.

Jamukha was less successful in building a coalition. Jamukha did not recruit shepherds who lacked tribal status in the Mongol tradition. This allowed Temüjin to recover from a series of military defeats inflicted by Jamukha and to emerge victorious.

==Death==

Jamukha was eventually betrayed to Temüjin by his followers in 1206. Temüjin executed Jamukha's betrayers on the principle that betrayal merits the harshest punishment. ''[[The Secret History of the Mongols]]'' states that Temüjin offered renewal of their brotherhood, but Jamukha insisted that just as there was room for only one sun in the sky, there was room only for one Mongol lord. He asked to be executed by dying a noble death without the spilling of blood. His request was granted by having his back broken by Temüjin's soldiers. It is said that Temüjin buried Jamukha with the golden belt that he had given to Jamukha when they formed their bond of brotherhood.

== In popular culture ==
Jamukha is a major character in the 1965 film ''Genghis Khan'', portrayed by [[Stephen Boyd]], and the 2005 film ''[[Mongol (film)|Mongol]]'', portrayed by [[Honglei Sun]].
