In 1252, Alexander Nevsky met with Sartaq at Sarai. Alexander received yarlyk to become Grand Duke of Vladimir in vassalage to the Kipchak Khanate. According to Lev Gumilev he became Sartaq's anda and an adopted son of Batu Khan.
His reign as khan of the Golden Horde was short-lived. He died in 1256 before returning from Great Khan Möngke's court in Mongolia, less than one year after his father, probably having been poisoned by his uncles Berke and Berkhchir. Sartaq was succeeded by Ulaqchi briefly in 1257, before his uncle Berke succeeded to the throne. It is not clear whether Ulaqchi was his brother or his son.
Sartaq's daughter Feodora was the wife of Gleb Vasilkovich, first Prince Belozersky of Beloozero and Rostov, a grandson of Konstantin of Rostov.Books
