Cumans
Shelf by nono umasy
The Cumans were a nomadic Turkic people who emerged in the Eurasian steppes around the 10th century. Known for their horse-riding prowess and archery skills, they played a significant role in the politics and warfare of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The Cumans formed powerful confederations and often acted as mercenaries for various regional powers, including the Byzantine Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary. Despite their martial strength, they faced pressures from the Mongol invasions in the 13th century, which eventually led to their dispersion and assimilation into other cultures, notably influencing the development of the Hungarian, Bulgarian, and Russian states.
