Barak (Turki/Kypchak andPersian: براق خان; died 1429) wasKhan of theGolden Horde from 1423 to 1429.[1] His father wasQuyurchuq, the son ofUrus Khan, who was a descendant ofTuqa-Timur, the son ofJochi, the eldest son ofGenghis Khan.[2]
Barak took support fromUlugh Beg, theTimurid emir, and in 1422 he dethroned Kepek,Ulugh Muhammad as well asDawlat Berdi, khans of the Golden Horde. And Barak Khan reoccupiedSighnak from the Timurids. However, he was defeated in 1427 by Ulugh Muhammad and was promptly assassinated by Jochi's descendant, Mohammed, who claimed the steppe between the Ural and Syr Darya rivers for his dynasty.
In the 1460s, Barak’s sonJanibek rebelled againstAbu'l-Khayr Khan and he, along withKerei, immigrated to the environs ofJeti Su (Seven Rivers) and established theKazakh Khanate.[3]
