Tokhtamysh Khan
Tokhtamysh Khan was a prominent leader of the Golden Horde, who rose to power in the late 14th century during a tumultuous period marked by internal strife and fragmentation within the Mongol empire. Claiming descent from the legendary Genghis Khan, he initially engaged in conflicts against his cousin, Urus Khan, before consolidating power with the aid of the warlord Timur. His reign is notably marked by the siege of Moscow in 1382, where he sought to reassert Mongol dominance after a previous Russian victory at the Battle of Kulikovo in 1380. Tokhtamysh's campaign against Moscow resulted in the city's devastation and a brutal massacre, showcasing the military strength of the Golden Horde despite its recent setbacks.
