Pulad
Pūlād (''Bulat Saltan'' in the Russian chronicles) was a Khan of the Golden Horde for three years, 1407–1410, in the waning days of the khanate. He ruled as the protégé of the beglerbeg Edigu. Ancestry According to the ''Muʿizz al-ansāb'' and the ''Tawārīḫ-i guzīdah-i nuṣrat-nāmah'', Pūlād was a son of Tīmūr Qutluq Khan, and thus a younger cousin of his immediate predecessor Shādī Beg. An erroneous tradition, shared by Khwandamir, that Pūlād was the son of Shādī Beg, has been widespread in historiography. Reign When Shādī Beg's plot against Edigu was discovered and Shādī Beg fled in late 1407, Edigu raised Pūlād, the son of the former khan Tīmūr Qutluq on the throne. Although Pūlād had an older brother, Tīmūr, the latter was reputed to be obstinate, and Edigu accordingly preferred to make Pūlād his new khan. Edigu's open conflict with his previous khan, Shādī Beg, may have undermined his reputation and authority, and this may have c ...

Karim Berdi
Karīm Berdi (Karīm-Bīrdī) ( Persian: ; Tatar: ''Kärimbirde'') was Khan of the Golden Horde on several occasions, in 1409, 1412–1413, and in 1414. Ancestry Karīm Berdi was one of the sons of Tokhtamysh Khan, and the brother of his immediate predecessor Jalāl ad-Dīn Khan. They were descended from Tuqa-Timur, son of Jochi, son of Chinggis Khan. Life After the fall of their father, Tokhtamysh, his sons sought refuge at the court of the Grand Prince of Moscow, Vasilij I Dmitrievič, who refused to extradite them to their enemy, the beglerbeg Edigu. During Edigu's attack on Moscow, Vasilij intended to use Tokhtamysh's sons to counterattack and undermine the enemy at its capital, Sarai. It was in this context, that Karīm Berdi took advantage of Edigu's distraction by the siege of Moscow to attack and expel Khan Pūlād from the city in 1409. Although Karīm Berdi took the throne, Edigu abandoned the siege of Moscow and advanced on Sarai, driving out Karīm Berdi and re ...

Shadi Beg
Shādī Beg was Khan of the Golden Horde from 1399 to 1407. He was the protégé of the all-powerful beglerbeg Edigu. Ancestry According to the ''Muʿizz al-ansāb'' and the ''Tawārīḫ-i guzīdah-i nuṣrat-nāmah'', Shādī Beg was a son of Qutlū Beg, and thus a first cousin of his predecessor Tīmūr Qutluq. Both descended from Tuqa-Timur, the son of Jochi, the son of Chinggis Khan. Reign On the death of his cousin, Tīmūr Qutluq, allegedly from drunkenness, Shādī Beg was made khan by the beglerbeg Edigu, in late 1399 or early 1400. Edigu may have considered Shādī Beg's youth and inexperience likely to ensure the beglerbeg's continued hold on power. The Russian prince Ivan Mihajlovič was invested with the Grand Principality of Tver' by Shādī Beg in 1400. Edigu focused on his vendetta against the former khan Tokhtamysh, waging war against him in Sibir in 1400–1406, lasting for most of Shādī Beg's reign. In the early winter of 1406, Edigu's troops succeeded ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Temür Qutlugh
Temür Qutlugh or Tīmūr Qutluq ( 1370 – 1399) was a Khan of Golden Horde in 1397–1399. Ancestry According to the detailed genealogies of the ''Muʿizz al-ansāb'' and the ''Tawārīḫ-i guzīdah-i nuṣrat-nāmah'', Tīmūr Qutluq was the son of Tīmūr Beg, the son of Qutluq Tīmūr, the son of Nūmqān, the son of Abāy, the son of Kay-Timur, the son of Tuqa-Timur, the son of Jochi, the son of Chinggis Khan. Older scholarship and its derivatives, relying on the inaccurate information of Muʿīn-ad-Dīn Naṭanzī (previously known as the "Anonymous of Iskandar"), erroneously identified Tīmūr Qutluq's father as Tīmūr Malik, the son of Urus Khan. The confusion seems to have arisen from the similarity of names, given that the elements compounded with "Tīmūr" in the personal names of these individuals are all princely titles (khan, malik, beg). Life It is possible that Tīmūr Qutluq's father, Tīmūr Beg, had ruled briefly in 1368 (if identical with the numisma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Timur (Golden Horde)
Tīmūr or Temür ( fa, ) was a Khan of the Golden Horde from 1410 to 1412, in the waning days of the khanate. Ancestry According to the ''Muʿizz al-ansāb'' and the ''Tawārīḫ-i guzīdah-i nuṣrat-nāmah'', Tīmūr was a son of Tīmūr Qutluq Khan, and a brother of his immediate predecessor Pūlād. Reign When the all-powerful beglerbeg Edigu needed to replace Shādī Beg Khan in late 1407, he turned to the sons of the previous khan, Tīmūr Qutluq. He passed over the older son, Tīmūr, who had a reputation for obstinacy, in favor of a younger son, Pūlād. Three years later, with Pūlād and Edigu smarting after a failure to take Moscow and the brief usurpation of a rival, Tokhtamysh's son Karīm Berdi at Sarai, the bypassed Tīmūr became khan in disputed circumstances. According to one account, he staged a coup, dethroning Pūlād, and causing the now unpopular Edigu to flee. Thus, Tīmūr became khan in late 1410 or early 1411. According to another account, P ...

Jalal Al-Din Khan Ibn Tokhtamysh
Jalal al-Din or Jalāl ad-Dīn ( Persian: ; Tatar: ''Cäläletdin'';Kazakh: ''Jäleläddin''; Polish: ''Dżalal ad-Din'') (1380–1412) was the Khan of the Golden Horde in 1411–1412. He was the son of Tokhtamysh, Khan of the Golden Horde until 1395, by Ṭaghāy Beg Khatun, the daughter of Ḥājjī Beg. He is also famous for his written history of the Mongol Empire. He is also known as the ''Green Sultan'', a false etymology based on the apparent meaning of a Slavic rendition of his name, ''Zeleni Saltan''. Life After being dethroned by the beglerbeg Edigu and replaced with Tīmūr-Qutluq, Tokhtamysh had attempted to regain his throne with Lithuanian aid, but was defeated in 1399. He continued his resistance from Sibir until he was killed against Edigu in 1406. Tokhtamysh's sons, including Jalāl ad-Dīn, sought refuge at the court of the Grand Prince of Moscow, Vasilij I Dmitrievič, who refused to extradite them. During Edigu's attack on Moscow, Vasilij intended to use T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Azov
Azov (russian: Азов), previously known as Azak, is a town in Rostov Oblast, Russia, situated on the Don River just from the Sea of Azov, which derives its name from the town. Population: History Early settlements in the vicinity The mouth of the Don River has always been an important commercial center. At the start of the 3rd century BCE, the Greeks from the Bosporan Kingdom founded a colony here, which they called '' Tanais'' (after the Greek name of the river). Several centuries later, in the last third of 1st century BCE, the settlement was burned down by king Polemon I of Pontus. The introduction of Greek colonists restored its prosperity, but the Goths practically annihilated it in the 3rd century. The site of ancient Tanais, now occupied by the '' khutor'' of Nedvigovka, has been excavated since the mid-19th century. In the 5th century, the area was populated by Karadach and his Akatziroi. They were ruled by Dengizich the Hun. Byzantium gave t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Muhammad Juki
Muhammad Juki Mirza (1402 – 1445) was a Timurid prince and a son of the Central Asian ruler Shah Rukh. He served as one of his father's military commanders and may have been favoured as his preferred successor. However, he died of illness in 1445, predeceasing Shah Rukh by two years. Life Born on 27 April 1402, Muhammad Juki was the youngest of the three sons of Shah Rukh by his empress consort, Gawhar Shad. Somewhat younger than his full brothers Ulugh Beg and Baysunghur, Muhammad Juki also appears to have held a lower status. He began his military career with his father's first campaign against the Qara Qoyunlu in Azerbaijan in 1420-21, during which he is recorded to have led troops. In later years, he played an important part in Shah Rukh's major military expeditions and seems to have been a common presence at court. He appears to have performed the role of a sort of troubleshooter, often being sent on special missions requiring status and finesse, such as dealing with ...

Dmitrov
Dmitrov ( rus, Дмитров, p=ˈdmʲitrəf) is a town and the administrative center of Dmitrovsky District in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located to the north of Moscow on the Yakhroma River and the Moscow Canal. Population: History Dmitrov is one of the oldest urban areas in Moscow oblast. The town was originally founded by Yury Dolgoruky in 1154, where his son Vsevolod was born. Its name is explained by the fact that Vsevolod's patron saint was St. Demetrius. In the 13th century, the settlement marked a point where the borders of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Tver, and Pereslavl-Zalessky converged. The settlement itself belonged to the princes of Galich-Mersky, located much to the north, until 1364, when it was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Both Dmitry Donskoy and his grandson Vasily II granted Dmitrov as an appanage to their younger sons, so Dmitrov was the capital of a tiny principality. In 1374, it was given town rights.
