Baraq was
Khan of the
Golden Horde from 1422 to 1427. His father was Koirichak, grandson of
Urus Khan who was also descendant of
Genghis Khan. He took support from
Ulugh Beg, the
Timurid khan, and in 1422 he dethroned Kepek,
Olugh Mokhammad as well as
Dawlat Berdi, khans of the Golden Horde. And Baraq reoccupied Sighnak from the Timurids. However, he was defeated in 1427 by Olugh Mokhammad and was promptly assassinated by Jochi's descendant, Mohammed, who claimed the steppe between the Ural and Syr Darya rivers for his dynasty.
