Who were the Cuman-Kipchaks?

When discussing the western movements of the Mongol Empire, the Cumans and Qipchaqs appear again and again. But who were the Cuman-Kipchaks? Their history expands both before and beyond the Mongol conquest. Here, we have an overview of who they were and their origins, a group that statistically speaking, you'll know either as the guys with the mustache battle masks or from Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Proper captions have now been added to this video, in case you wanted more text on screen. The Cuman-Kipchak tribes played an important role in the history of the western Mongol Empire, but like many of this period, are not looked at on their own. Here, we have a look at their potential origins and influence. Note that Cumans would act as mercenaries in Eastern Europe for some time after 1240, which you see, from what I understand, in the recent video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which I have never played. Cuman communities settled in Hungary and today still recognize themselves as Cumans, though have long since sedenterized, Christianized and adopted Hungarian.

[@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory]

While researching this topic, I found a video from 'Kazakh TV' on KZbin, which looked at the Desht-i Qipchaq. It was made by Kazakhs, and it was very cool to see that they saw the Qipchaq as their direct ancestors. I imagine there must be real pride to feel such immediate connection with your ancestors going back centuries. Living in Canada, separated from my family's ancestral homeland, and traditions, it is hard to not feel jealous at that identity.

The reason why the Cuman were sought after so ruthlessly by the Mongols is because when the Mongols united the tribes in the east, they declared all step nomads were under the hegemony of the Mongol Khan. In the eyes of the Mongols, the fact they resisted Mongol rule made them rebels. And rebels weren't tolerated in the Mongol Empire.

I think kipchak tribes was the power who was really able to stop mongols. And how symbolic, that Kipchak mamluks known in a "mainstream" history as a force who have been "first" who stopped mongols. Which actually debatable point, especially if you know Jalal at dins achievements. Kipchaks was a huge power, they was even able to conquer Baghdad in alliance with Kwaresm, but their fatal problem was.. They have been separated and different parts of them had their own relations and conflicts with different countries.. Russian principalities, Khwaresm and east Europe. Mongols have been United under one ruler and even made other nomadic tribes to serve them including some of kipchaks. legendary roman analogy of how mongols defeated kipchaks is.. How the Last of Horatti brothers, alone killed three of Curiatti brothers. But after mongol invasion, Kipchak steppe became finally the United state of kipchaks under mongol rule.. Which known as Golden horde. Mongols, like it often happens in history, assimilated among kipchaks took their language and became modern tartar, bashkir, nogai, kazakh, karakalpak and even russians. I think kipchak and mongols had many cultural and lifestyle similarities. Have you noticed one thing..? Since Hunnu migration, nomads of eurasian steppe almost followed same journey. From central Asian steppes and Altai mountains to the lands around Panonia. Hunnu then.. Avar, Bulgar, Magyar (Hungarians), kipchaks and finally mongols. Maybe it already exists. a term which describing it.. Something like "the great eurasian nomadic highway"😂 thanks for new video, your uploads always a kind of a little holiday 😉

[@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory]

There were some Song Dynasty envoys to the Mongols over the 1220s, and there is a reference to the Qipchaq in them. The envoys record the Mongols basically considering the Qipchaq to be their greatest single military threat. And from the Mongol perspective, this makes a lot of sense. By that point, the Mongols' power was based on the steppe, and happened to control some sedentary territory. As one Mongol is recorded as saying, the people in the cities will stay in their cities, but the nomads could continue fall back, regroup, and continue to pose a threat. One only needs to look at the career of Temujin to see that. It was easy to imagine the Mongol leadership being concerned that some charismatic figure could unite the Cuman-Qipchaqs to challenge the Mongols, much how Temujin had united the Mongols. Ultimately, as it did elsewhere, the disunity of their enemy allowed the Mongols to conquer them. And in time, the disunity of the Mongols would allow their enemies to defeat them. It is always like how the mother of Bodunchar Munkhag showed: one arrow alone is easy to break, but many together are strong.

I like that you mentioned the Mamluks in this video!!!

[@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory]

The reason for that is that I like to show that these regions and peoples are not isolated, and the movements of a group on one end of Asia can have long term consequences for an area on the opposite end of the continent centuries later. I was surprised to learn of the Qipchaq/Olberli connection with the Delhi Sultans. That is why I love being able to do these videos, and learn about connections like that. It also explains some of the Mongol animosity to those regions: the Qipchaq were supposed to be their slaves/property (the Mongol idea of kingdom initially focused more on people than territory) yet to see them ruling in Delhi and Cairo must have been particularly vexing.

[@AngryHistorian87]

I read that the Mamluks of Cairo looked at Mongol military practices as ideal, so I believe that the Cairo Mamluks admired the Mongols to some degree.

[@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory]

There was actually some Mongols, being aligned to the Jochids, that once war broke out between the Golden Horde and Ilkhanate fled to the Mamluk state (similarly, Mongols in the east fleeing the intercine warfare of the Ilkhans, Chagatai Khanate and Negudereis would flee to the Delhi Sultanate). The Kipchak-Turkic influence seems to have brought some knowledge of Mongol tactics, and I believe one or maybe more of the Mamluk Sultans was actually of Mongolian descent. As it was, the Mamluks had a clear understanding of warfare, and I am sure they acquired as much information Mongol tactics as possible, knowing everything rided on Ayn Jalut (and later close encounters). The best way to understand an enemy is to respect their ability.

[@AngryHistorian87]

The Cumans and the Tatars were nomadic warriors of the Eurasian steppe who exerted an enduring impact on the medieval Balkans. With this work, István Vásáry presents an extensive examination of their history from 1185 to 1365. The basic instrument of Cuman and Tatar political success was their military force, over which none of the Balkan warring factions could claim victory. As a consequence, groups of the Cumans and the Tatars settled and mingled with the local population in various regions of the Balkans. The Cumans were the founders of three successive Bulgarian dynasties (Asenids, Terterids and Shishmanids) and the Wallachian dynasty (Basarabids). They also played an active role in Byzantium, Hungary and Serbia, with Cuman immigrants being integrated into each country's elite. This book also demonstrates how the prevailing political anarchy in the Balkans in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries made it ripe for the Ottoman conquest.

[@karabudun-tarihvesiyaset8037]

You did a very good job, but I have something to add on this topic. Kipchaks and Cumans played also a big role in the history of the Oghuzes in the Middle East. Prof. Dr. Sencer Divitçioğlu wrote in his book ''Orta Asya Türk Tarihi Üzerine Altı Çalışma'' that a big group of Kipckaks/Cumans were present in the Seljuq Empire, raiding the regions between Azerbaijan and central Anatolia against the Byzantine Empire. Ibn Bibi (13.th Century) also wrote that the Anatolian Seljuq Sultan Izzeddin founded an army based on Kipchaks, Yiva and others , against his rebellious brother Rükneddin. Prof. Dr. Sencer also stated that the Kipchaks helped the Seljuqs in the conquest of Syria. The Kipchaks / Cumans under Seljuq rule also later founded the Atabeglik/Atabeylik (Eldiguzids - 1136-1225) of Azerbaijan, until they were conquered by the Khwarazmian Empire. The Eldiguzids (Muslim Kipchaks) and Anatolian Seljuq Beyliks (using Kipchak soldiers) also fought against the Kingdom of Georgia, which (like you said) was supported by the Kipchaks in the northern Caucasus (who converted to Christianity a long time ago). Some Kipchaks/Cuman also fled to Azerbaijan after the Mongol conquest, according to Ziya Bünyatov (Azerbaycan Atabeyler Devleti) Kipchaks and Cumans were also used by the Byzantine Empire. According to the historian Paul Wittek, ten thousands of Cumans / Kipchaks were settled in to Anatolia (With Bulgars and Pechenegs) and later used against the Seljuqs. One legend says ( I have not found a written source on this) that the Cuman and Pecheneg soldiers in the Byzantine Army changed sides in the Battle of Manzikert, as they saw that their enemy spoke the same tongue as them.

[@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory]

Great share! I love comments like these, especially on areas I don't know as strongly like the Seljuqs or pre-Mongol Caucasus. I didn't know about the connection between the Eldeguzids and the Qipchaq, though I too have heard about the Qipchaq at Manzikert, but I''m not familiar enough with the details of that battle to be able to have an opinion on that. The Seljuqs are a weakness of mine: I don't know nearly as much about them as I would like, so I am always hesitant to write much on them. It takes me a lot of researching to have the confidence in a topic to put up a video on it (even for the Mongol Empire, which I know very well), and the Seljuqs are a very large (but very fascinating!) topic. Originally I had a bit more to say on them here, but it was cut for time and I didn't feel like I had researched that aspect enough to comment on it. One thing I have wondered about (which I had considered looking into for this video) is if the Oghuz migrations that led to the founding of the Great Seljuq state was connected to the movements of the Qipchaq-Cumans, or Kemek or Pecheneg. But I wasn't able to in time find a satisfactory answer to that. There is unfortunately a limit to how much I can include in a 10-15 minute video (it isn't as much information as many think!) and I had to draw on the line on looking into that.

9:24 it's interesting, something exactly the same happened in Mamluk Egypt. In a time when Ayibids started to lose their power over Egypt. When crusaders attacked Mansurra, Ayibid sultan Salikh was ill or even died. And if I'm not mistaken, a woman from his Harem Shadiyar (Shajar at durr) ruled over country. And mamluk warlords like Beibars, Qutuz, Aibek admitted her as "Sultanna". But unlike Raziya Sultana in Delhi, she's finally not became a legitimate Sultanna. I'm not sure but seems reason was.. Khaliph of Baghdad who got a "holy" power of giving a "formal legitimacy", didn't wanted to make a former concubine of Sultan, as an "equal" to Khaliph. But she didn't left her hands out of power. It's long and interesting story, but before Qutuz and Beibars came to power. Lot of mamluks died for a fight to take a power including Shadiyar, her next husband Mamluk Aibek, her son Turanshakh

[@TheJackmeisterMongolHistory]

Very interesting, I didn't know about her at all. One suggestion I've seen for Raziyya Sultana's ascension in Delhi was due to the influence of the steppe/Qipchaq culture, wherein roles for women would be less strike. Though the Mongols and Khitans were not turkic, there were a number of very powerful women among both and the Khitan dynasties, the Liao and the Qara-Khitai, both had female empresses, while the Mongols had female regents who for a few years essentially were the rulers of the empire. So potentially the environment of the growing influence of the Turkic Mamluks in the final years of the Ayyubids possibly allowed a woman to come to power there (it looks like some historians even theorize that Shajar was turkic herself). Since the Caliph would have more influence in Cairo than in Delhi, it is also possible to see how that could have restricted her to ruling in full. But I don't know enough about the Ayyubid-Mamluk transition to say that with much certainty. As you say, it was such an unstable time that a strong person able to wield influence no matter their gender could have gained power. As it was, Raziyya only reigned as Delhi Sultan for four years, after Iltutmish's primary heirs had died, and was overthrown for looking to favour non-Turkic elements of the court. So not exactly a groundbreaking reign.

@@LaSenioraKittehz Unfortunately, you are unlikely to find more on Kotjen beyond that.

I think there is a few earlier mentions of him, but there is very little information about him before the Kalka River battle. It's commonly mentioned that his clan was the Terteroba, but I think tracing the clan's history to before Kalka is also difficult. Our sources are often only interested in the nomads when they start dealing with sedentary powers- and for Kotjen, it's that 1222/1223 where he starts interacting with them beyond that marriage alliance.

This strange phenomenon, losing the blond color in hair, after puberty strikes, is called the "Balkan Blond". It is manifested in many people in the area. Being it of a slavic, cuman, roman, turkic, bulgarian, greek, latin, rus, viking, hun, albanian and-a-million-other-peoples-throughout-the-ages origin, the effect is always that the blond hair seem to dissapear after puberty and become brown.

[@sopratutti8893]

@Sweet Angel it sounds like your ancestors were the Kipchaks. Cumans were the western part (blond blue eyes), Kipchaks the eastern part, mongoloid looking: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumans (read under 'Names and etymology').

[@omariomart.3898]

im kipchak from altay xinjang region. My grandparents had blue green eyes blond hair too and they were all tall.

[@artsempai]

The Russian name of the cumans Polovtsy (yellows) came as a direct translation of “sari-qipchaq” as they called themselves (yellow qipchaq), not because of their hair color. In many asian traditions, including mongolian and turkic, cardinal directions have colors, and yellow or golden is the center, hence the Golden Horde (again, not because they were blonde). Other central asian people with colors in their name - Gökturks (blue turks), white huns, black huns. Also - seas around Anatolia in turkish named after colors - karadeniz (black sea), kizildeniz (red sea), akdeniz (mediterranean sea)

[@enesacer9014]

Dude, it is recorded in Arab sources that they are very light skinned, blue eyed and blonde. Likewise, the Chinese also refer to the Kyrgyz (a Kipchak Tribe) as having red hair and colored eyes. It speaks directly about this in Latin sources. In other words, Turks can also have blond hair and colored eyes. There's no point in denying that. My father, who is a Turk, has slanted eyes, but I have red-blond hair and blue/green central heterochromic eyes. Turks had many phenotypes because they married women from many different tribes. So this is normal.

[@enesacer9014]

Also, the Cumans headed west. If they were to be identified by a color that would be black or white. So that's not appropriate, dude. Also, the Göktürks are not like you think, it's probably related to Göktanrı (God of Sky) . The Ashina clan, who gave the name Turk and founded the Gokturk empire, is a white tribe. Probably relatives with the Wusuns. It is written in Chinese sources that Mukan Kagan has auburn hair and blue eyes. And DNA tests show that they carry the Scythian gene and belong to haplogroups R1a,R1b and N.

The Turks are descendants of the Scythians, so it's not surprising.

[@ProfessorOFanthropology979]

@@enesacer9014 If Turkic people were descendants of Scythians, they would be speaking an indo European language since Scythians were Iranic speakers. The closest living descendant of this language is Ossetian. The Turkic homeland is in the Mongolian steppes and eastern Siberia, they expanded and moved west over the centuries in different directions! They absorbed and ejected the previous inhabitants of the Central Asian steppes since as early as the second century, by the 6th to 7th century Central Asia was thoroughly Turkic.

[@ProfessorOFanthropology979]

@@enesacer9014 The Kyrgyz of old, (yenesei Kyrgyz) and the modern Kyrgyz are not a “kipchak tribe“, the modern Kyrgyz nationality developed from a kipchak speaking confederation of Turkic and turko mongolian tribes.

I'm an Ahiska Turk from northeastern Turkey (Black Sea coast). My ancestors were Kipchaks. My grandparents used many weird words durign my childhood. Later on, when I grew up and read books on Turkish dialects and the etymology of modern Turkish words, I realized that those "weird words" are actually of Kipchak origin.

[@seyahatdelisilenurbey]

I’m Crimean Tatar, and my nation is considered as the direct inherit of Cumans and Codex Cummanicus ( a dictionary written in Cuman) is proof of this, since the Cuman language is closest to the current Crimean Tatar. Another interesting fact: in Codex Cummanicus the language called itself “Tatar tili” - Tatar language. Tatar - is our authonym. The dictionary was written before the Mongolian invasion, which proves that Tatars were living in Crimea long before the Mongolian rule. Unfortunately after years of colonization, marginalization and deportation my people were forced to forget our great history. So thank you for your video!

[@danasingapore135]

With all due respect, Cumans were horse riders, free spirited warriors. Modern tatars submitted to easily to Russian tsar. I doubt that you are direct successors of great warriors of the Steppes.

[@seyahatdelisilenurbey]

@@danasingapore135 well, there’s a thing that is called “development”. In 10-15 centuries Crimean Tatars were famous for their horse riders and stuff like that, but with the creation of state borders, the need for a sedentary life arose. The army was no longer the same as before, life in general was no longer the same as before. Plus, Crimean Khanate was the longest living successor of the Golden Horde. Crimean Tatars are the direct descendants of the Cumans, we bare their language and culture, there’s no doubt in it. And these are not my words, it’s a historical fact.

Kazakhs have a Kipchak tribe in Middle Juz, a Kangli tribe in Senior Juz and a Nogai tribe in Junior Juz, in total about 1 million to 1.5 million Cuman Kipchaks in its 18 million modern population. Unfortunately most Kipchaks were either sold as slaves or forced to migrate elsewhere and got assimilated after the Mongol(Tatar) conquest.

[@charlesdeleo4608]

Ah, yes! The Cumans. This video has proven quite useful actually. In my upcoming novel series, the Cumans play a vital role as antagonists, as their role in founding the Second Bulgarian Empire leads to them clashing with a revitalised Eastern Roman Empire multiple times, and their conflicts with the Romans is actually what leads to an alliance between the Mongols and the Romans, as they both see the Cumans as a mutual common enemy.

[@wargreysama]

If you are into describing Cumans, just so y'know they are these Eurasian looking people with distinct blonde hair and blue eyes and pale skins. They are like tall white people with pale skins but their eyes are shaped like asians, y'know slanted. And they are always described to be beautiful.

[@jiritichy7967]

The current Mongolia used to have about one million inhabitants, so I assume that the Mongol invasions in the thirteen centuries with multi thousand armies had to draw men from other regions. Who were the Mongols of that time?

the turkic tribes were the bulk majority of the mongol army thiss why they were often called tatars
