From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_of_Cuman_descent

Khan Konchak (Konchek, Kumcheg - meaning 'trousers') Otrakovich, his daughter married Igor's son, prince Vladimir III Igorevich of Putivl. He was involved in wars and raids with the Russians (Prince Igor), along the Ros River, where the Cumans attacked towns belonging to the Olgovichi (the ruling dynasty of Chernigov). He defeated Igor Svyatoslavich, prince of the Principality of Novgorod-Seversk, the tale of which is immortalized in the Rus' epic The Tale of Igor's Campaign. He united the western and eastern Cuman-Kipchak tribes.[6]

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumans

In 1114 the Cumans launched an invasion, from the western Romanian Plain, into the Byzantine Balkans once more. This was followed up by another incursion in 1123/1124. In 1135 the Cumans again invaded the Kingdom of Poland. During the second and third crusades, in 1147 and 1189, crusaders were attacked by Cumans, who were allied to the Asen dynasty of the Second Bulgarian Empire, or who were in Byzantine service.[4]:124·Äì128

Central, Southern and Eastern Europe, 1190 In alliance with the Bulgarians and Vlachs,[60][61] the Cumans are believed to have played a significant role in the Vlach-Bulgar Rebellion led by brothers Asen and Peter of Tarnovo, resulting in victory over Byzantium and the restoration of Bulgaria's independence in 1185.[62] Istvan Vassary states that without the active participation of the Cumans, the Vlakho-Bulgarian rebels could never have gained the upper hand over the Byzantines, and ultimately without the military support of the Cumans, the process of Bulgarian restoration could never have been realised.[7]:73[32] The Cuman participation in the creation of the Second Bulgarian Empire in 1185 and thereafter brought about basic changes in the political and ethnic sphere of Bulgaria and the Balkans.[7]:xii The Cumans were allies in the Bulgarian-Latin Wars with emperor Kaloyan of Bulgaria, who was descended from the Cumans. In 1205, at the Battle of Adrianople (1205), 14,000 Cuman light cavalry contributed to Kaloyan's crushing victory over the Latin Crusaders.[32] Cuman troops continued to be hired throughout the 13th and 14th century by both the Bulgarians and Byzantines.[15]

KONCHEK, KHAN OF THE DONETS CUMANS

By 1160 Cuman raids into Rus' had become an annual event. These attacks put pressure on Rus' and affected trade routes to the Black Sea and Constantinople, in turn leading Rus' to again attempt action. Offensives were halted from 1166 to 1169, when Grand Prince Andrey Bogolybusky (c. 1111 - 1174), son of Khan Ayepa's daughter, took control of Kiev in 1169 and installed Gleb Iur'evich as his puppet. Gleb Iur'evich brought in "Wild Cumans" as well as Oghuz and Berendei units. Later, the prince of the Principality of Chernigov attempted to use KHAN KONCHEK'S army against Kievan Rus' and Suzdal. This Chernigov - Cuman alliance suffered disastrous defeat in 1180, with ELRUT, KONCHEK'S brother, dying in battle.

In 1183 Rus' defeated a large Cuman army and captured Khan Kobiak (Kobek), as well as his son and other notables. Subsequent to this KHAN KONCHEK concluded negotiations. KHAN KONCHEK, MUCH LIKE HIS SON KHAN KOTEN preceding the Mongol invasion, was successful in creating a more cohesive force out of the many Cuman groups, uniting the western and eastern Cuman - Kipchak tribes. KHAN KONCHEK also changed the old Cuman system of government whereby rulership went to the most senior tribal leader, INSTEAD PASSING IT ON TO HIS SON KOTEN.

Igor Svyatoslavich, prince of the Principality of Novgorod - Seversk, attacked the Cumans in the vicinity of the Kayala River in 1185 but was defeated. This battle became immortalized in the Rus' epic poem "The Tale of Igor's Campaign" and Alexander Borodin's opera "Prince Igor". The dynamic pattern of attacks and counterattacks between Rus' and the Cumans indicates that both the Cumans and the Rus' rarely, if ever, were able to obtain the unity needed to deal a fatal blow.
