Cumania

Cumania refers to the historical region inhabited by the Cumans, a group of Turkic nomadic people who lived in Eastern Europe, particularly around the 10th to 13th centuries. They were known for their horse-riding skills and played a significant role in the political dynamics of the region, interacting with various empires, including the Byzantine and Russian. The Cumans eventually migrated westward and became influential in the formation of the Hungarian and Polish states. Their culture, language, and legacy contributed to the rich tapestry of medieval European history.
