Bayadur-khan, Ugadai-khan succeeded Zingis in 1230. In 1245 he was
succeeded by his son Kajuk-khan, called Khen-khan by Marco in the
text. To him Mangu-khan succeeded in 1247, who held the empire till
1257; when he was succeeded by Koplai or Kublai-khan, who reigned
thirty-five years, and died in 1292. - Harris.

in the text, Marco appears to have comprehended the whole north-east
of Tartary, to the north of the Changai mountains, under the general
name of Bargu, in which he now includes Curza, mentioned separately at
the commencement of the preceding Section, and where the situation of
Bargu has been already more particularly described in a note. - E.
