Chernye Klobukiとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Chernye Klobuki or Chorni Klobuky (Ukrainian - Чорні Клобуки - "Black Hats (Hoods)"; Turkic Karakalpak or Qaraqalpaq) were a group of semi-nomadic Turkic tribes that settled on the frontier between the Rus states and the Pechenegs (and later the Cumans) during the 11th century and 12th century CE. They fought as mercenaries for various Rus princes, forming most of the cavalry for the fledgling Rus armies. Several tribes are named as probable Chernye Klobuki, including the Berendei and Torkils. Their name means "Black Hats" or "Black Hoods", and in Turkic languages it is "Karakalpak"; presumably this refers to their national costume. It is unclear whether the Chernye Klobuki are related to the Karakalpaks of today.
