The Jochid state of the Dasht (Golden Horde)

The state of the sons of Jochi (Dushi Khan) ibn Genghis in the Qipchaq Dasht from Filak to Bulgar; Jochi's sons Naju and Berke inherited it, Berke converting at a Bukhara shaykh's hand of Najm al-Din Kubra's school and seeking his brother Monke's leave to strike the caliphate's lands — their throne sat at Saray until Uzbek's reign when Islam spread among them and they intermarried with Egypt's kings.
