The Horde's Last Great Khan: Ahmed's Stand on the Ugra

from The Golden Horde: Mongol Rule Over Russia Explained — Fexingo History · host Fexingo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the final chapter of the Golden Horde's rule over Russia: the Great Stand on the Ugra River in 1480. They examine Khan Ahmed (Akhmat), the leader of the Great Horde, and his failed campaign against Grand Prince Ivan III of Moscow. The conversation delves into the political maneuvering, the role of the Crimean Khanate under Mengli Giray, and the significance of Ivan's refusal to pay tribute. They also discuss the myth of the 'Tatar Yoke' and how Russian chroniclers later framed the event as the end of Mongol domination. Listeners will learn about the strategic standoff that lasted months, the internal divisions within the Horde, and the legacy of Ahmed's defeat, which paved the way for Moscow's rise as an independent power. #GoldenHorde #GreatStandUgra #KhanAhmed #IvanIII #Moscow #MengliGiray #CrimeanKhanate #GreatHorde #TatarYoke #1480 #RussianHistory #MongolEmpire #MedievalHistory #UgraRiver #Kashira #SophiaPalaiologina #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
