And Barak Khan reoccupied [Sighnak](/source/Sighnaq) 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](/source/Janibek_Khan) rebelled against [Abu'l-Khayr Khan](/source/Abu'l-Khayr_Khan) and he, along with [Kerei](/source/Kerei_Khan), immigrated to the environs of [Jeti Su](/source/Jetisu) (Seven Rivers) and established the [Kazakh Khanate](/source/Kazakh_Khanate).[3] ## Genealogy - [Genghis Khan](/source/Genghis_Khan) - [Jochi](/source/Jochi) - [Tuqa-Timur](/source/Tuqa-Timur) - Urung-Timur (Uz-Timur, Urungbash) - Achiq - Taqtaq - Timur Khwaja - Badiq - [Urus](/source/Urus_Khan) (?-1377) - [Quyurchuq](/source/Quyurchuq) - **Barak Khan** (?-1429) - [Janibek Khan](/source/Janibek_Khan) (1428-1480) - [Qasim Khan](/source/Kasym_Khan) (1445-1521) - [Muhammed Khan](/source/Mamash_Khan) (1521-1523) - [Tahir Ali Khan](/source/Taiyr_Khan) - [Haqqnazar Haider Khan](/source/Haqnazar_Khan) (1537-1580) ## See also - [List of khans of the Golden Horde](/source/List_of_khans_of_the_Golden_Horde) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-e-history_1-0)** ["Barak khan · Prominent figures"](http://e-history.kz/en/biography/view/341). *Kazakhstan History portal*.
