Marriage diplomacy of the Khans of the Kazakh Horde in establishing relations with the dominion of the Genghisid dynasty

The Kazakh Khanate is a large Muslim power with the traditions of a complex economy, based, among others, on the economy of semi–nomadic horse breeding, occupying the main part of the Great Steppe in the late Turkic period. The state of Kazakh Khandyk can be judged by its relations with the largest Muslim and neighboring states of that time. Extensive scientific reviews, articles, and works have been written about it and are being written now. We will not dwell on the history of the Khanate itself, on political issues of formation, in our article we will consider one of the topical themes – the role of women in this patriarchal semi-nomadic Muslim state. Let's try to write an analytical article about the role of women in politics, the role of women in public life, the role of women in cultural and spiritual life, the role of women in the life process,and also study how dynastic marriages were built between representatives of the Tore-Genghisids, between its ruling branches – Batuids and Sheibanids, as well as Juchids from Mogulistan. Also, based on medieval historical data, articles by domestic and foreign historians, the article provides some information about Kazakh women who lived in the palaces of the rulers of neighboring states, who had an impact in international, interstate diplomacy. Often they, being representatives of the Kazakh ruling elite, ended up there as a result of dynastic marriages. Women from among the Tore Genghisids were faithful companions in their husband's life, were mothers of the children of sultans. Some of them held high positions in the State and participated in its political (including international) and public life. We can write in more detail about such women as Mihr-Sultan from the Shibanid dynasties, Chuchuk Khanym in Mogulistan, Bopai Khanym in the Kazakh Horde, Aisha Khanym in Babur's palace, Suzge Khanym in the Siberian Khanate.
