Batu Khan

Batu was a Mongol prince, the second son of Jochi son of Genghis Khan, the conqueror of Russia and founder of the Golden Horde on the Volga. He inherited the western part of his father's appanage on Jochi's death in 624/1227, commanded the Mongol army that struck Russia, Poland and Hungary between 633/1236 and 639/1241, and then settled his rule in the Kipchak Steppe. An enemy of Guyuk, he played the decisive part in raising Mongke to the Great Khanate in 649/1251, and most likely died in 653/1255.
