Jalal al-Din or Jalāl ad-Dīn (Turki/Kypchak and Persian: جلال الدین; Tatar: Cäläletdin; Kazakh: Jäleläddin; Polish: Dżalal ad-Din; 1380–1412) was Khan of the Golden Horde in 1411–1412. He was the son of Tokhtamysh, Khan of the Golden Horde until 1395, by Ṭaghāy Beg Khatun, the daughter of Ḥājjī Beg.[1] He is also famous for his written history of the Mongol Empire. He is also known as the Green Sultan, a false etymology based on the apparent meaning of a Slavic rendition of his name, Zeleni Saltan.
