From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tuda Mengu, also known as Tode Mongke, was khan of the Golden Horde from 1280-1287. He was the son of Toqoqan, grandson of Batu Khan and brother of Mongke Temur. A pious khan, he converted to Islam in 1283. Due to his religion, Tudamongke did not want to fight against Ilkhanante whose rulers embraced Islam. And according to Rashid Ad-din, he was willing to keep good relations with Kublai khan. During his government the influence of Nogai Khan increasced much in the Golden Horde, and there was a second attack against Hungary in 1284/1285. He abdicated in favor to his nephew Tole Buqa in 1287 [1]
