Picture of the White Horde in 1428

The White Horde (Mongolian: ᠴᠠᠭᠠᠨ ᠣᠷᠳᠣ, Цагаан орд, Cagaan ord; Kazakh: Ақ Орда, romanized: Aq Orda), or more appropriately, the Left wing of the Jochid Ulus was one of the uluses within the Mongol Empire formed around 1225, after the death of Jochi when his son, Orda-Ichen (Орд эзэн, Ord ezen, 'Lord Orda'), inherited his father's appanage by the Jaxartes. It was the eastern constituent part of the Golden Horde (Jochid ulus) alongside the Blue Horde to the west.[1][2]
