Sartaq Khan' (or Sartak, Sartach, Template:Langx, Template:Langx; died 1257) was the son of Batu Khan and his senior wife Boraqchin of Alchi Tatar.[1] Boraqchin acted as regent Dowager before Sartaq eventually succeeded Batu as the khan of the Golden Horde.
Reign
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In 1252, Alexander Nevsky met with Sartaq at Sarai. Alexander received yarlyk (license) to become Grand Duke of Vladimir in vassalage to the Mongol Khanate. According to Lev Gumilev he became Sartaq's anda (sworn brother, akin to blood brother) and an adopted son of Batu Khan.[2]
His reign as khan of the Golden Horde was short-lived. He died in 1256 before returning from Great Khan Möngke's court in Mongolia, less than one year after his father, probably having been poisoned by his uncles Berke and Berkhchir. Sartaq was succeeded by Ulaqchi briefly in 1257, before his uncle Berke succeeded to the throne. It is not clear whether Ulaqchi was his brother or his son.
Sartaq's daughter Feodora (or Theothiure) was the wife of Gleb Vasilkovich, first Prince Belozersky of Beloozero and Rostov, a grandson of Konstantin of Rostov. Their daughter Maria Glebovna Belozerskaya married Daniel Alexandrovich (the son of Alexander Nevsky), and was the mother of Ivan Kalita.
