Explanation: Exactly what it sounds like. Khutulun, a descendant of Genghis Khan (the great-granddaughter of his heir, Ogedei Khan), was famed for her beauty and her athletic prowess. She swore not to marry any man unless he could defeat her in a wrestling match. No man ever did (though I believe she eventually married). Any man who challenged her and lost would forfeit 100 horses to her. She earned a herd of some 10,000 horses this way - a considerable amount of wealth even for a Mongol princess!
She was also a skilled warrior, and favored by her father to become the next Khan, but he was eventually dissuaded from this by political maneuvering. Khutulun herself would become a prominent military commander under one of her brothers, who became Khan instead.

Is that what that woman from TW3 on Faroe was based on?
Might be! The writers of The Witcher 3 definitely drew heavily from history.
