Cumans

Cumans
Polovsty
♦ A Turkish people who appeared in the Steppes in the eleventh century after the decline of the Pechenegs. They were a problem for the eastern Balkans for the next two centuries owing to their raids. However, others settled in Bulgaria and comprised a valuable portion of the armies of the Second Bulgarian Empire.
