Sayid Ahmad I

Sayid Ahmad I was a khan of the Golden Horde from 1427 or 1433^[1] until his death in 1435. Unlike the last five of six khans, Ahmad was not a descendant of Tokhtamysh but Timur-Malik, a cousin of Tokhtamysh.

Breakup of the Horde

While he died before the Horde dissolved, historians believe that Sayid Ahmad was responsible for creating the conditions in the khanate which allopwed it to happen.^[2]
