The “Qarāūnās” mentioned in the sources dealing with the history of the Īl-Khānate was an appellation, after the Khānate, 1258-1335, had been firmly established, for the half-breeds between the twenty-thousand Mongol troops dispatched to, and stationed in Hindūstān and Kashmīr immediately after the accession of Ūktāi Qāān in 1229, and local women.The Qarāūnās, who had been in Hindūstān and Kashmir protecting the flank of the active conquests of Hūlāgū Khān came, toward the end of his reign, 1258-1265, under the command of Abāqā when the prince was dispatched to govern Khurāsān. In 1265 when Abāqā returned to Adherbāijān to take over the Khānship, he took along with him a part of the Qarāūnās, whom he organized into a tūmān, for myriarchy directly under him, with an amīr close to him at its head. This was the “Qarāūnās Tūmān of the Khān’s own” which was under the successive control of influential amīrs close to the Khāns until the reign of Ghāzān Khān,1295-1304.Prince Abāqā, when returning to Adherbāijān, organized into two more tūmāns those Qarāūnās who did not accompany him, to garrison Khurāsān under the command of amīrs loyal to him. These were the “Qarāūnās Tūmāns of Khurāsān.”The Qarāūnās who had made themselves independent along the Eastern borders of the Īl-Khānate by the time when Prince Abāqā was dispatched to govern Khurāsān, continued their plundering raids into the Īl-Khānate territories even after the prince’s accession as Khān.From the reign of Arghūn Khān, 1284-1291, on, the myriarchs of the Qarāūnās Tūmāns of the Khān’s own and of Khurāsān disturbed the Īl-Khānate with their court intrigues and frontier revolts, until finally they were united under Ghāzān Khān.Qārā of qarāūnās derives from qara, black, in Mongolian, while ūnās (ūnā, ūna) appears to be the same name as the Hsiung-nu. Hence qarāūnās means the Black Huns.
