Barak took support from [[Ulugh Beg]], the [[Timurid dynasty|Timurid]] emir, and in 1422 he dethroned Kepek, [[Ulugh Muhammad]] as well as [[Dawlat Berdi]], khans of the Golden Horde. And Barak Khan reoccupied [[Sighnaq|Sighnak]] from the Timurids. However, he was defeated in 1427 by Ulugh Muhammad and was promptly assassinated by Jochi's descendant, Mohammed, who claimed the steppe between the Ural and Syr Darya rivers for his dynasty.

In the 1460s, Barak’s son [[Janibek Khan|Janibek]] rebelled against [[Abu'l-Khayr Khan]] and he, along with [[Kerei Khan|Kerei]], immigrated to the environs of [[Jetisu|Jeti Su]] (Seven Rivers) and established the [[Kazakh Khanate]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Olcott |first1=Martha Brill |title=The Kazakhs |date=1987 |publisher=Hoover Press |isbn=9780817993535 |page=8 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0QAraz9qVY4C |language=en}}</ref>
