| Description : | Batu Khan (c. 1205 - 1255) was a Mongol ruler, founder of the Kipchak Khanate. The term "Kipchak" came from the Kipchak Turks in the Mongol forces. Batu was a son of Jochi and "grandson" of Genghis Khan. (Although Genghis Khan recognized Jochi as his son, his parentage was always a question, as his mother Borte, Genghis Khan's wife, had been captured and historians assume, raped, and Jochi was born exactly 9 months after her recovery by Genghis Khan.)
