Nogai

The Nogai Horde was a confederation of steppe pastoralists north of the Caspian, with a winter camp at Saraychik on the lower Ural. Its Manghit ancestors belonged to the Golden Horde in 1337.

By 1396 the emir Edigu controlled lands between the Volga and Ural. In 1557 Qazi Mirza quarrelled with Ismael Beg and founded the Lesser Nogai Horde in the North Caucasus. The Great Horde north of the Caspian broke apart under Kalmyk attacks around 1632.
