Regent
When the Toluid family overthrew the Ögedeids, Qara Hulagu supported Möngke Khan in 1251. Möngke reappointed Qara Hulagu khan of the Chagatai Khanate and executed Yesü Möngke. However, he died on the way and Möngke permitted his widow Orghana to serve as regent in the name of her infant son. She ruled the Khanate from 1252 to 1261, nine years.
According to Rashid al-Din, she organized a banquet for Hulagu when his army was marching through Central Asia to Iran in 1255.
