Mengu-Timur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mengu-Timur or Möngke Temür, Batu Khan's grandson, was a khan of the Golden Horde in 1266-1282. During his reign, the Mongols together with their allied Russian princes undertook military campaigns against Byzantium (c. 1269-1271), Lithuania (1275), and Caucasus (1277). The very first yarlyk (license) found by historians was written on behalf of Mengu-Timur and contained information on the release of the Russian Orthodox Church from paying tribute to the Golden Horde. During the reign of Mengu-Timur, the Genoese traders purchased Caffa from the Mongols.
