On the Informations About the Golden Horde Khanate in the Hayton of Korykos’s Flos Historiarum Terre Orientis


Flos Historiarum Terre Orientis (Golden Age of the History of the Eastern Countries) written to be presented to the Pope Clementis by a person named Hayton who were a member of Cilician Armenian dynasty, is one of the most important Latin sources for the history of the Mongols. For, the work was written as a Crusade plan and the Hayton provided information about the tradition, military talens and the history of the Mongols because of he considered them as an allied force. Significant part of his information based on his audition, others are based on his own testimony. Another remarkable aspect of this work which contains unique information on from Ilkhanate to the Yuan Dynasty and Chagadaids, is the records about the Golden Horde Khanate. In these records, Hayton gave information on Western campaign under the Batu’s leadership and Berke-Hulagu conflict, as well as Golden Horde-Mamluk alliance and war between Tokta and Nogay. In this study I will focus on the information about the Golden Horde in the work entitled Flos Historiarum Terre Orientis and I will try to clarify some suspended records.
