- #1 Batu KhanGolden HordeMongol Empire MilitaryMilitary CommandPolitical Medieval Military CommandState Power Power: 100Batu Khan (c. 1207–1255) was a grandson of Genghis Khan and the founder of the Jochid polity commonly known as the Golden Horde. He led the western Mongol campaigns that conquered and devastated many principalities of Rus and reached into Central Europe, and he established a system of tribute and political supervision that reshaped Eurasian frontier governance for generations. Batu’s authority combined military command with the management of taxation, trade routes, and elite appointments, allowing the steppe empire to convert conquest into a durable revenue structure centered on the Volga region and the Black Sea corridors.
