Khan of the Golden Horde (r. 1414–1415, 1416–1417)

Jabbār Berdi Khan of the Golden Horde Reign 1414–1415 Predecessor Karīm Berdi Successor Chekre Reign 1416–1417 Predecessor Chekre Successor Darwīsh Died 1417 (1418) House Borjigin Father Tokhtamysh Religion Sunni Islam

**Jabbār Berdi** ([Turki](/source/Chagatai_language)/[Kypchak](/source/Cuman_language) and [Persian](/source/Persian_language): جبار بردی; the name is rendered as **Yeremferden** in some western sources),[1] was [Khan](/source/Khan_(title)) of the [Golden Horde](/source/Golden_Horde) from 1414 to 1415 and again from 1416 to 1417.[2]

## Ancestry

Jabbār Berdi was a son of [Tokhtamysh](/source/Tokhtamysh), and a brother of his immediate predecessor [Karīm Berdi](/source/Karim_Berdi). They were descendants of [Tuqa-Timur](/source/Tuqa-Timur), the son of [Jochi](/source/Jochi), the son of [Chinggis Khan](/source/Genghis_Khan).[3]

## Reign

Tokhtamysh's son [Karīm Berdi](/source/Karim_Berdi) broke with his family's traditional alliance with Grand Prince [Vytautas](/source/Vytautas) of [Lithuania](/source/Grand_Duchy_of_Lithuania), and assumed a hostile attitude. Vytautas responded by setting up as rival khan Karīm Berdi's brother [Kebek](/source/Kebek_(Golden_Horde)), but Kebek's displacement of Karīm Berdi in 1413 would not last. By 1414, Karīm Berdi had killed Kebek and recovered his throne. Undaunted, Vytautas proclaimed another son of Tokhtamysh, Jabbār Berdi, as khan and sent him against Karīm Berdi. Jabbār Berdi defeated his brother and took power later in 1414. He naturally favored cooperation with Lithuania, and benefited from its support. Nevertheless, Karīm Berdi was apparently still at large, and Jabbār Berdi had another dangerous enemy in the [beglerbeg](/source/Beylerbey) [Edigu](/source/Edigu), who had already proclaimed his own khan, a [Tuqa-Timurid](/source/Tuqa-Timur) named [Chekre](/source/Chekre). In the confused power struggle, Jabbār Berdi was briefly displaced by Edigu and Chekre in 1415, but succeeded in defeating and killing his rival Chekre in 1416. It was perhaps in the next year, 1417, that Jabbār Berdi also eliminated his own deposed brother, Karīm Berdi. Later the same year, Jabbār Berdi was defeated by Edigu and fled to the [Crimea](/source/Crimea). Edigu declared another Tuqa-Timurid, [Darwīsh](/source/Darwish_(Golden_Horde)) khan, while Jabbār Berdi was killed by his own retinue as he attempted to seek refuge in Lithuania.[4]
