History[]
Baidar, also known as Peta (fl. 13th century), was the sixth son of Chagatai Khan, and grandson of Genghis Khan. He is famous for his participation in the Mongol campaigns in Europe, particularly at the Battle of Liegnitz. His descendants would go on to be rulers of the Chagatai Khanate, which succeeded the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan in Central Asia, and would themselves be later succeeded by the Timurids.
