Sarai's Last Great Khan: The Rule of Janibeg

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the reign of Janibeg, the last great khan of the Golden Horde. They discuss his rise to power after the mysterious death of his brother Tinibeg, his military campaigns against the Ilkhanate and the Genoese, and his role in the Black Death's arrival at Caffa. The episode also covers Janibeg's administrative reforms, his patronage of Islam and urban development, and the succession crisis that followed his death, which plunged the Horde into the Great Troubles. Through Janibeg's story, the hosts examine the Horde's peak of power and the fragility of its political system, setting the stage for its eventual decline. #GoldenHorde #Janibeg #Sarai #BlackDeath #Caffa #Genoese #Ilkhanate #GreatTroubles #JochidUlus #MongolEmpire #SteppeHistory #MedievalHistory #RussianHistory #SaraialJadid #BubonicPlague #History #FexingoHistory #CentralAsia Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
