Kingdom of Mangalai

Mentioned by Marco Polo, it was subservient to Genghis Khan from 1224 to his death in 1227.

In 1877, the area came under the control of the Qing dynasty and remains part of the Chinese autonomous region of Xinjiang.

The territory of Mangalai was described as bound on the east by Bügür and Kucha; to the west by the Kingdom of Fergana; to the north by Issigh-Kul; and to the south by the Yugurs.

[1] Mangalai Suyah was given to Urtubu by Chagatai Khan, the grandfather of Amir Bulaji.

[1] Babdagan allied with Genghis Khan and his Mongols (1224–1227) playing taxes to them and providing military assistance thus keeping his kingdom.
