List of khans of the Golden Horde

This is a complete list of khans of the Ulus of Jochi, better known by its later Russian designation as the Golden Horde, in its right (west) wing and left (east) wing divisions known problematically as the Blue Horde and White Horde, ^[1] and of its main successor state during a period of disintegration, known as the Great Horde. Khans of the Blue Horde are listed as the principal rulers of the Golden Horde, although many late rulers of the Golden Horde originated from the subordinate White Horde. Following the general convention, the list encompasses the period from the death of Genghis Khan in 1227 to the sack of Sarai by the Crimean Khanate in 1502. ^[2] The chronological and genealogical information is often incomplete and contradictory; annotation can be found in the secondary lists in the second part of the article, and in the individual articles on specific monarchs.

(Alternative chronology according to Sidorenko 2000)

• 21S Khayr Pūlād or Mīr Pūlād, 1362–1364, descendant of Shiban (3b) as above; expelled? (possibly rival khan at Gülistan as Pūlād Khwāja 1364?).
• 22S ʿAbdallāh , 1362–1365, probably descendant of Tuqa-Timur (3c), as above; protégé of Mamai, expelled.
• 23S ʿAzīz Shaykh , 1365–1367, probably descendant of Shiban (3b), as above; murdered (earlier rival khan at Gülistan 1364–1365).
• 24S Ūljāy Tīmūr or Pūlād Tīmūr, 1367, probably descendant of Tuqa-Timur (3c), as above.
• Following this, Sidorenko 2000 does not provide a continuous sequence of khans, since he limits his analysis to explicitly labeled coinage; he dates Tulun Beg Khanum to 1371/1372, Īl Beg to 1373/1374 (at Saray-Jük), Cherkes Beg to 1374/1375 (at Astrakhan), and then Qāghān Beg 1375–1377 and ʿArab Shāh 1377–1380, as above.

"Mamai's Horde" (Left bank of the Volga) (1362–1380)

• 21M ʿAbdallāh = 21/25/28G, 1362–1370, probably descendant of Tuqa-Timur (3c), as above; protégé of Mamai. ^[42]
• 22M Muḥammad-Sulṭān = 30/34G; 1370–1379, probably son of ʿAbdallāh (21M); protégé of Mamai, murdered by him? ^[43]
• 23M Tūlāk , 1379–1380, probably son of Tughluq Khwāja, the brother of ʿAbdallāh (21M); protégé of Mamai, killed at the Battle of Kulikovo? ^[44]
• In older scholarship and its derivatives Muḥammad-Sulṭān and Tūlāk were erroneously treated as single individual, supposedly named Muḥammad-Būlāq; the distinction between them is established by Sidorenko 2000: 278–280, Gaev 2002: 23–25, and others.

Eastern half of the Golden Horde (1227–1380)

Between 1242 and 1380 the eastern and western halves of the horde were generally separate, the dividing line being somewhere north of the Caspian, perhaps the Ural. The relation between the two is not always clear, but the rulers of the Eastern half generally recognized the superior authority of those of the Western half. In the late 14th century, the Eastern half's rulers I. and L. attempted, at times successfully, to take over the Western half. The western khans had a capital at Sarai on the lower Volga while the eastern khans had capitals or winter camps on the Syr Darya, especially Sighnaq. Most rulers of the Eastern half are poorly documented, and historiography still largely relies on the treatment by Hammer-Purgstall 1840, who had access to what are now considered unreliable sources, like versions of the account of Muʿīn-ad-Dīn Naṭanzī (earlier known as the "Anonymous of Iskandar"). What became the traditional account, therefore, relies on Naṭanzī and his derivatives to construct (through additional rationalization) a continuous succession of khans from Orda (3a/A) to Urus Khan (I) and Tokhtamysh (L). While it is clear that the traditional chronology and genealogy are very flawed, they have enjoyed a lasting and pervasive influence in historiography, appearing even in recent publications, such as Bosworth 1996 and Baumer 2016. For discussion, see Vásáry 2009.

(Chronology and genealogy according to Hammer-Purgstall 1840)

• A Orda Khan 28Y, c1227–1251, held East under his younger brother Batu (3), who ruled West, also general in western campaigns
• B Qun Quran 29Y, 1251–c. 1280, fourth son of Orda (A), little information (Baumer has Qongqiran >1255–<77)
• C Köchü 22Y, c1280–1302 grandson of Orda (A), peaceful reign (Baumer: Qonichi c1277–<1299)
• D Bayan 7Y, 1302–09, son of Köchü (C), fought his cousin Kobluk/Kupalak who allied with Kaidu to the east (Baumer has <1299–<1312)
• E Sasibuqa 6Y, 1309–15, son of Bayan (D), resisted Uzbeg Khan (11 above). (Baumer has Sasi Buqa <1312–1320/21)
• F Ebisan 5Y, 1310/15–1320, son of Sasibuqa (E), probably gained land in southeast (Otrar) recognized overlordship of Uzbek (Baumer has Izran 1320/21–?)
• G Mubārak Khwāja 24Y, 1320–44, brother of Ilbasan (F), little information (Baumer has ?–1344)
• H Chimtay 16Y, 1344–1360, son of Ilbasan (F), little information (Baumer: 1344?–61)
• The Black Death would have hit the steppe about this time, but there are few records.
• I Urus Khan 15Y, 1361–1376, son of Chimtay (H); (supposedly) uncle of Tokhtamysh (L); fought Tokhtamysh and Tamerlane, 1373 and 1374–1375 briefly held Western wing of the Golden Horde (Baumer:1361–74/75)
• J Toqtaqiya 0Y, 1377, son of Urus (I), two-month reign, Baumer has him defeated by Tokhtamysh
• K Tīmūr Malik 1Y, 1377–78, son of Urus (I), killed by Tokhtamysh (L).
• L Tokhtamysh 21Y, 1378–1395, son of Tuy Khwāja, (supposedly) the brother of Urus (I); a great man but more warlord than ruler, rebelled against his uncle Urus (I), fled to Tamerlane who in 1378 made him khan of the Horde, 1380 crossed Volga and defeated Mamai joining the two halves of the Golden Horde, burned Moscow to avenge Mamai's defeat at Kulikovo, broke with Tamerlane, captured Tabriz and withdrew, Tamerlane defeated him on the Volga in 1391 and on the Terek in 1395 and razed his cities north of the Caspian, fled to Lithuania, defeated by Tamerlane's general Edigu, fled to Siberia and was killed by Edigu's men.

(Revised chronology and genealogy according to Vásáry 2009)

Driven by a better understanding of the coinage of Mubārak Khwāja (issued in 1366–1368, not, as previously assumed, 40 or 30 years earlier), of Naṭanzī's limitations as a source on the subject, and of more reliable sources on the chronology and genealogy of Mongol rulers, Vásáry 2009 proposed the following reconstruction, some of it already anticipated by, e.g., Gaev 2002.

• V1 Orda , 1st son of Jochi (2)
• V2 Qongkiran , 4th son of Orda (V1)
• V3 Qonichi , 1st son of Sartaqtay, the 1st son of Orda (V1)
• V4 Bayan , 1st son of Qonichi (V3)
• V5 Sasi-Buqa , c. 1310–1320/1321, 2nd son of Bayan (V4)
• V6 Erzen , 1320/1321–1344/1345, son of Sasi-Buqa (V5)
• V7 Chimtay , 1344/1345–1360/1361, son of Erzen (V6)
• V8 Qara Nogai, 1360/1361–1363, 2nd son of Sasi, the 1st son of Toqanchar, the 1st son of Bay-Timur, the 1st son of Tuqa-Timur (3c), the 13th son of Jochi (2)
• V9 Tughluq Timur, 1363–?, brother, as the 1st son of Sasi
• V10 Mubārak Khwāja , ?–1369, cousin, as the 1st son of Boz Qulaq, the 2nd son of Toqanchar
• V11 Qutluq Khwāja, 1369, cousin, as the 3rd son of Sasi
• V12 Urus Khan , 1369–1377, son of Badiq, descendant of Tuqa-Timur (3c)

(Revised chronology and genealogy according to Sabitov 2014)

Sabitov 2014 likewise established a substantial revision to the list of rulers of the Eastern half of the Golden Horde, based on the Muʿizz al-ansāb, the Tawārīḫ-i guzīdah-i nuṣrat-nāmah, and the Čingīz-Nāmah. Unlike Vásáry, Sabitov did not attempt to continue a succession of khans descended from Orda beyond what was verifiable from reliable sources, and he showed that Orda's lineage lost its authority by 1330, when Öz Beg Khan of the Western half appointed his own non-Jochid governor over the Eastern half, a member of the Kiyat clan, and the Eastern half had khans of its own again only after 1360. The list after 1330 follows Gaev 2002: 10–15 and Sabitov 2008: 286.

After Tokhtamysh (1380–1502)

Following Tokhtamysh there was no longer a clear distinction between east and west. For the first twenty years power was held by descendants of Urus Khan and Tohktamysh and by the warlord Edigu. There was then a confused period, followed by several long reigns. The last khan was deposed in 1502. The Golden horde broke up as follows: before 1400: Lithuania expanded as far east as Kiev, ?: Kursk as Lithuanian vassal, c 1430: land east of the Ural held by Abul Khayr, 1438: Kazan (by T11), 1449: Crimea (family of 3c), 1452: Kasimov as Russian vassal (family of 3c), 1465: Kazakh khanate (sons of T12), 1466: Astrakhan (T15), 1480: Russia, before 1490?: Sibir. The steppe nomads then became organized as the Nogai Horde.
