Mukhsha Ulus

Mukhsha Ulus (Tatar: Мухша олысы, موحشا ﯘلىسى, romanized: Muxşa olısı), or Naruchat Duchy (Tatar: Наручат бәклегел, ناروچات بەكلئگئل, romanized: Naruçat bäklege), was a subdivision of Golden Horde located in modern-day Mordovia, Penza Oblast and Tambov Oblast of Russia. It existed from the 13th to 15th centuries with its capital in Mukhsha. The bulk of its territory was situated between the rivers Sura and Tsna.

Mordvins and Burtas previously lived in the region. After the Mongol invasions, the population was mainly Mişär Tatars, and Moksha Mordvins. From 1313 to 1367, the district coined its own money. The population was mostly agricultural. Some were cattle-breeders and craftsmen.

In 1360, Tağay Beg conquered the ulus and it became a semi-independent duchy. In 1367, Mamai conquered that duchy. At the end of 14th century, the duchy declined, and at the beginning of the 15th century, the Russians conquered it.
