Kadan Aghul, and Malik, sons of Uktae, were by a Kuman concubine. Other blunders committed by most European writers are with regard to the dates, and the supposition that Uktae’s death was the cause of the return of the Mughal princes and their armies, whereas, as has been, and will be presently, related, these wars were over, and they returned to their respective territories before the death of Uktae, which took place on the 5th day of the sixth month of 639 H. — 10th December, 1241 A.D.; and yet, according to the European writers, the battle of Lignitz was only fought in April of that very year, and the “Mongols” only crossed the Danube on the ice, after the great battle in which Bela, king of Hungary, was overthrown, to attack Gran, on the 25th December, 1241, or, according to this theory, twenty days after “Hocotam’s” death. - [Previous: 284.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.284.2.2) - [Next: 284.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.284.2.4) - [Up: 284.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.284.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.284.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.284.2.3) · Pramāṇa
