 When the Mongol Empire began to expand westward, the Manghud people were spread westward into the Middle East along with many other Mongol tribes.In the Golden Horde, the Manghuds supported Nogai (d.1299) and established their own semi-independent horde from the khans in Sarai.After Nogai's death in 1299 AD, the majority of Manghud warriors joined the service of Tokhta Khan.
