For instance they supported Khubilai against Ariq-Buga. Kipchak guard was also effective at taking Song cities in China. Two commanders are referred numerous times in Yuan Shi: Tutuha and El-Temir, who belonged to Kipchak clans that peacefully joined Mongols. El-Temir was the last commander of Kipchak guard, when he died and the kipchak guard dissolved Yuan dynasty also siezed to exist. (Update: Iw wrote this comment before finishing watching the video.

Ivan Asen II was a very decent general for his time. He made great use of his cavalry in every engagement. Cuman horse archers destroyed Hungarians, Serbians, Latins, and Niceans all around. He didn’t fight many battles however he beat some of the best armies of the time. He dealt with Cuman invasions, Mongol hordes, Latines, and the Epirotes. When the Mongols invaded the country he led the people in the mountains and ambushed them. Killing many of their hosts that crushed the entire region, however this led to the burning of north Bulgaria. He conquered all of Greece north of Thermopylae and took out most of the Latin remnant. He crushed the Epirotes at Klokotnitsa with such force that they could never wield such power ever again. When Cumans served the previous king he killed, Ivan employed them. That moment let him have the most dominating cavalry force of that time.

Why do the paint Turks as Mongols? In ancient and medieval history sources, travelers and historians defined the Turkic peoples as Kipchaks, Cumans, Khazars "Blonde" rather than Asian in phenotype. (Ammianus Marcelinus, Mattia D Edesse, Abul Feda Yosef). , Biruni, Ibn Khaldun, Ibni Rabbihi, Istakhri, Said El Maghribi, Gerdizi, El Mesudi, El Omari, Nizami,, Chronicles of China Tang. Igor Epic..

@@ravolisia29 The turks are originally inner asian. But they mixed with the previous dominant civilization of the steppes, the Scythians. And with other indo-european peoples, like the Tocharians. That is why they mostly look different from the mongols, even back then. But that is clearly not true for all turkic nations. For example: I have never seen a Sakha, or a Tuvan being blonde.

One of your most well made videos yet. Hope the team can keep this standard!

I love these one-shot videos of certain peoples or empires. And Cumans (or Kuns as they are called in Hungary) definitely deserve a video like this.

Really enjoyed this one.

Thanks for the video

Basically Kipchaks formed modern identity of Kazakhs (one of larger modern tribes is called Kypshak), Tatars, Bashkorts and Nogais. We are all descendants of Kypshaks. Many of those people are still pale nowadays and are called Sary (pale yellow) in Turkic languages.

I’ve waited this for a long time. Thanks for doing it. I think on the subject of overlooked nomadic entities, I think you guys should do one about Cuman leaders or significant figures. At the top of my head, besides Koten Khan and Bacman Khan, you should do one for Boniak. Aside from the Cuman-Kipchaks, I think you guys should also look into Pechenegs and Avars too. Look forward to equestrian civilization related contents.

Amazing video!

​@user-fl5mq9kp7g Persianate Turkic dynasties had Persian as a court and litterature language , Arabic as the religious language and Turkic as their mother tongue ,because they were a ruling minority with no significant genetic/ cultural influence on the indengious ppl of the conqured lands, on the contrary they basically absorbed the regional culture and were assimilated in most of the the countries / civilizations they conquered so they were the ones who had to adapt themselves with the vast majority of natives and learn the native languages of the locals like Russian, Persian, Arabic for the Arab mamluks , Urdu , Hindi etc etc .That's why there are such diversities of clothing, food , and dance even genetic diversities among various Turkic ppl depending where they were settled .

@user-fl5mq9kp7g Cuz they couldn't. They were a trible / nomadic ( stricly )military force , outnumbered by the overwhelming high nr of the indengious pop of ME , India, and Russia .Judging by the low genetic influence of the Turkic tribes in the ME, India , Russia, Europe, even the Turkefied Anatolia & Caucasus ,they couldn't be that noumerous , on the contrary , Turkic tribes were genetically ,ethno-linguistically and culturally/ religiously influenced by each native population they subjected . As a matter of fact, due to modern genetic science , many consider Western turks as "Turkefied peoples," not genetically .Remember, the Turkification of Anatolia was not an easy process .

IV Kun László was the legitimate king of Hungary (1275-1290) not just a prince. He had a very 'colorful' personality. He was very smart and was a natural when it came to warfare (won battles even while intoxicated 😅). He defeated II. Pźemysl Otakar (Czech/Bohemian king) who was considered to be a military genius in Europe at the time, he helped the Habsburgs to become one of the great dynasties in Europe (from Swiss nobodies constantly at war with their subjects) and defeated the mongols in open battle. On the other hand he was also very emotional, sporadic, lax when it came to religious matters being excommunicated by the pope several times, he downright sucked with finances and loved his b*tches and booze way more than he should have.

It's good to see rare acknowledging attitude from history channels from a turkic perspective. Some of the channels mostly try to not use the term turk or turkic or anything resembling turkic history. Not this time I guess. Thank you.

It was not *Jochi* but *Jebe* & Subedei who pursued for Kotyan all the way to Hungary.

As a Turkish person from Turkey and a linguist, I have a deep interest in Codex Cumanicus, it may be considered one of the first examples of the Romanization of a Turkic language. Just with a brief skimming of the texts in the book, I could comprehend 80% of the words by comparing them to modern Turkish. The book consists of two separate notebooks. The first one is a grammar and dictionary book written by Italian merchants to facilitate trade with the Cumans and the Ilkhanids speaking Persian. This section, which contains the equivalents of Latin words used by Venetians and Genoese merchants in Persian and Cuman, consists of 55 pages. Here, both grammar information, especially verb conjugations, and the names of goods traded are listed trilingually. Not only the names of goods traded, but also religious terms, food and beverage names, animal names, etc., are given in word lists.
