Möngke Khan

About Möngke Khan

Möngke Khan (1209–1259) was a pivotal figure in the history of the Mongol Empire, serving as the fourth Great Khan from 1251 until his death. As the grandson of Genghis Khan and brother to Kublai Khan, his reign marked a crucial phase in the empire's expansion and consolidation. Möngke was responsible for launching major military campaigns into the Middle East under his brother Hulegu and into China under his other brother Kublai, greatly increasing the Mongol realm's vast territory and influence across Eurasia. His high placement at #797 on the Historical Popularity Index reflects this immense, world-altering impact.

Despite this foundational historical importance, Möngke Khan's modern internet presence appears modest. He accrued approximately 298K annualized Wikipedia views in 2025. This level of attention is notably similar to that given to figures of considerably lesser historical magnitude according to the HPI; for instance, his attention gap is calculated at ~1x, meaning his online visibility is narrowly aligned with his historical rank, unlike many others we analyze. Furthermore, while his attention is relatively stable year-over-year (+15.0%), the slight cooling in momentum between Q1 and Q3 of 2025 (-8%) suggests his contemporary digital relevance is not currently surging.
