Konchak

    0.01 sec.
Konchak 

Year of birth and of death unknown. Polovtsian khan. In the second half of the 12th century Konchak unified the Polovtsians and created a strong military organization. He conducted a series of campaigns into the Kievan and Pereiaslavl lands and in 1185 defeated Prince Igor Sviatoslavich and captured him. The description of the campaign conducted by Igor Sviatoslavich and the other Russian princes against Konchak forms the basis of the Tale of Igor’s Campaign.
