Book
The Golden Horde
The Golden Horde examines the western successor state of the Mongol Empire that dominated the Eurasian steppe and exercised power over the Russian principalities. It traces the conquests of Batu Khan, the establishment of a mobile imperial court and the state’s role in trade routes linking Europe and Asia. The book also considers conversion to Islam, relations with Rus’ rulers and neighbouring powers, internal division and the gradual fragmentation of Horde authority.
