Besüd

The Besüd were a Mongol clan associated with the Tayichiud. Their best-known warrior, Jebe, wounded Genghis Khan before entering his service. Mongol armies carried branches of the clan west towards central Afghanistan.

One branch settled around Deh Kundi and Behsud, becoming the Behsudi, a major Hazara tribe. Its forebears wintered near Jalalabad and spent summers in the Hazarajat; other Besüd groups became part of the Khalkha, Ordos and Kalmyks. The Behsudi chief Mir Yazdan Bakhsh was executed in 1832.
