Considering the nomadic way of life of these peoples, these frontiers can be regarded only as approximate; hence there were various definitions over what Cumania meant over the course of time.

While the main component was probably the Turkic-speaking tribes, the confederacy included other ethnic components as well. <i>Cumania</i> was primarily a political name, referring to the leading, integrating tribe or clan of the confederacy or state. The Cumans, when they first appear in written sources, are members of a confederacy irrespective of their tribal origin. Former tribal names disappeared when the tribe in question became part of a political unit. For instance, when we hear of an incursion of Cumans, it means that certain tribes of the Cuman confederacy took part in a military enterprise. In his <i>"History of the Mongols"</i>, the Persian historian <a href="/wiki/Rashid-al-Din_Hamadani" class="mw-redirect" title="Rashid-al-Din Hamadani">Rashid-al-Din Hamadani</a>, referred to Cumania around 1236–1237, during the Mongol invasion of <a href="/wiki/M%C3%B6ngke_Khan" title="Möngke Khan">Möngke</a>, the future Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

Moscow State Historical Museum.</figcaption></figure> <p>The vast territory of this Cuman-Kipchak realm, consisting of loosely connected tribal units who were the military dominating force, was never politically united by a strong central power. Cumania was neither a state nor an empire, but different groups under independent rulers, or khans, who acted on their own initiative, meddling in the political life of the surrounding states: the Russian principalities, <a href="/wiki/Second_Bulgarian_Empire" title="Second Bulgarian Empire">Bulgaria</a>, Byzantium and the <a href="/wiki/Wallachia" title="Wallachia">Wallachian</a> states in the Balkans, Armenia and Georgia (see <a href="/wiki/Kipchaks_in_Georgia" title="Kipchaks in Georgia">Kipchaks in Georgia</a>) in the Caucasus, and <a href="/wiki/Khwarezm" class="mw-redirect" title="Khwarezm">Khwarezm</a>, having reached as far as to create a powerful caste of warriors, the <a href="/wiki/Mamluk" title="Mamluk">Mamluks</a>, serving the Muslim Arab and Turkish Caliphs and Sultans. </p><p>In the Balkans, we find the Cumans in contact with all of the statal entities of that time, fighting with the Kingdom of Hungary, allied with the <a href="/wiki/Bulgarians" title="Bulgarians">Bulgarians</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vlachs" title="Vlachs">Vlachs</a> against the Byzantine Empire. For example, <a href="/wiki/Thocomerius" title="Thocomerius">Thocomerius</a>, by name apparently a Cuman warlord (also known as <a href="/wiki/Tihomir_of_Wallachia" class="mw-redirect" title="Tihomir of Wallachia">Tihomir</a>, he might have been a Bulgarian noble), was possibly the first one to unite the Bulgarian states, north from the Danube, from the west and the east of the <a href="/wiki/Olt_River" class="mw-redirect" title="Olt River">Olt River</a>, and his son <a href="/wiki/Basarab_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Basarab I">Basarab I</a> is considered the first ruler of the united and independent <a href="/wiki/Wallachia" title="Wallachia">Wallachia</a>. This interpretation corresponds with the general view of the situation of the Romanian lands in the 11th century, with the natives living in collections of village communities, united in various small confederacies, with more or less powerful chiefs trying to create little kingdoms, some paying tribute to the various militarily dominant nomadic tribes (see <a href="/wiki/Romania_in_the_Middle_Ages" title="Romania in the Middle Ages">Romania in the Middle Ages</a>). </p><p>This Pontic Cumania, (and the rest of the Cumanias to the east), ended its existence in the middle of the 13th century, with the <a href="/wiki/Mongol_invasion_of_Europe" title="Mongol invasion of Europe">Mongol invasion of Europe</a>. In 1223, <a href="/wiki/Genghis_Khan" title="Genghis Khan">Genghis Khan</a> defeated the Cumans and their Rus' allies at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Kalka" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Kalka">Battle of Kalka</a> (in modern Ukraine), and the final blow came in 1241, when the Cuman confederacy ceased to exist as a political entity, with the remaining Cuman tribes being dispersed, either becoming subjects of the Mongol conquerors as part of what was to be known as the <a href="/wiki/Golden_Horde" title="Golden Horde">Golden Horde</a>, or fleeing to the west, to the Byzantine Empire, the <a href="/wiki/Second_Bulgarian_Empire" title="Second Bulgarian Empire">Bulgarian Empire</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Hungary" title="Kingdom of Hungary">Kingdom of Hungary</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Kunság_and_the_Catholic_Diocese_of_Cumania"><span id="Kuns.C3.A1g_and_the_Catholic_Diocese_of_Cumania"></span><i>Kunság</i> and the Catholic Diocese of Cumania</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cumania&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Kunság and the Catholic Diocese of Cumania"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Kuns%C3%A1g" title="Kunság">Kunság</a> and <a href="/wiki/Diocese_of_Cumania" class="mw-redirect" title="Diocese of Cumania">Diocese of Cumania</a></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Coat_of_arms_of_Cumania.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Coat_of_arms_of_Cumania.svg/150px-Coat_of_arms_of_Cumania.svg.png" decoding="async" width="150" height="175" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Coat_of_arms_of_Cumania.svg/225px-Coat_of_arms_of_Cumania.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Coat_of_arms_of_Cumania.svg/300px-Coat_of_arms_of_Cumania.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="350" /></a><figcaption>Coat of Arms of early modern <a href="/wiki/Kuns%C3%A1g" title="Kunság">Kunság</a></figcaption></figure> <p>On the <a href="/wiki/Great_Hungarian_Plain" title="Great Hungarian Plain">Great Hungarian Plain</a>, Cuman settlers gave their name to two regions known as Kunság, the <a href="/wiki/Magyar_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Magyar language">Hungarian</a> word for Cumania: <a href="/wiki/Greater_Cumania" class="mw-redirect" title="Greater Cumania">Greater Cumania</a> (<i>Nagykunság</i>) and <a href="/wiki/Little_Cumania" class="mw-redirect" title="Little Cumania">Little Cumania</a> (<i>Kiskunság</i>), located on the Great Hungarian Plain.
