-'''Altani''' was a heroine of the [[Mongols]] and was the wife of Genghis Khan's mother Oelun's adopted son Borokhul.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=The Secret History of the Mongols|last=|first=|publisher=|year=|isbn=|location=|pages=}}</ref>
-== Heroism ==
-Altani stayed in the camp of [[Hoelun]], mother of Genghis Khan. A [[Tatars|Tatar]] by the name of Qargil Shira entered the tent in which both of them stayed and pretended to come for hospitality.<ref name=":0" /> When [[Tolui]], the youngest son of Genghis Khan and his first wife [[Börte]], entered the tent, Qargil Shira grabbed the boy and ran out. Altani followed, prevented him from stabbing the boy and made him drop his knife. She held onto him so he could not escape with Tolui until Jetei and Jelme came and killed the Tatar.<ref name=":0" /> The guards and Altani all claimed credit for saving Tolui, but Genghis Khan made it clear she deserved chief merit. He laid praise on her as a ''[[Baghatur|baatar]]'', or hero of the Mongols.<ref>Weatherford. p. 9.</ref>
