Sayid Ahmad I was a khan of the Golden Horde from 1427 or 1433[1] until 1455. Unlike the last five of six khans, Ahmad was a younger son 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 allowed it to happen.[2]
