A group of Cuman-Kipchaks who headed to the Balkans as a result of the Mongols' incursions into the Deşt-i Kipchak lands; It is known that he entered the service of the Latin and Nicaea Empires. The Nicea Empire used this Cuman group against the Seljuk and Mongol threat and settled it in their lands. It is also thought that this Cuman-Kipchak group, which was settled in the territory of the Nicea Empire with the purpose of buffering against the threats from the East, interbred with the with the Oghuzs and formed the people called Manav.[1][2][3][4][5][7]
