eLibrary: Golden Horde (1252-1502)
When the great Mongol leader, Ghangis Khan, died in 1225, he divided his empire among his four grandsons. Batu was assigned control over the most north-western territories, which became known as the Ulug Ulus (Great State) or, more commonly, ‘Golden Horde’. The ‘Pax Mongolia’, that stretched from the Horde’s western borders to China seas, opened up an era of prosperity along the overland silk road.
