Sulduz (tribe)

Last updated

Sulduz or Suldus is a Mongolian tribe that entered the empire of Genghis Khan at the beginning of the 13th century.

Sulduz was part of the Darlekin-Mongol community. There is a version that the name of the tribe was given by the wild plant of the same name, which is believed to grow densely in areas where Sulduz people used to move along. [1] From the end of the 12th century, part of the Suldus people, together with the Besudi and Baarin, became a part of the Taichiuds and were subordinated to them. After the defeat of the Taichiuds, one of the large groups of sulduz among the troops of Genghis Khan settled in Cumania and partly in the territory of modern Uzbekistan, as well as in the north of Afghanistan. They later moved to Azerbaijan and Iran. Some of the most influential emirs under Genghis Khan's command were suldus people, as they greatly helped in the war with the Taichiuds. [2]

Sorgan-Shira, one of the nine servants of Genghis Khan, came from a sulduz family. Sorgan-Shiren's sons, Chilaun and Chimbay, were commanders of the personal guard of Genghis Khan. Chilaun's children founded the Chobanid dynasty, which held high positions in the Hulagu nation, and later established their own state in the territory of Iranian Azerbaijan. The descendants of Chobanids within the Hazaras are known as Dai Chopan. [3] [4] Khadaan, daughter of Sorgan-Shiren, was one of Genghis Khan's concubines. [5]

The campaign, which followed the annexation of the Qara Khitai Khanate, saw widespread devastation and atrocities. The invasion marked the completion of the Mongol conquest of Central Asia, and began the Mongol conquest of Persia.

The Mongol invasion of Central Asia occurred after the unification of the Mongol and Turkic tribes on the Mongolian plateau in 1206. Smaller military operations of the Mongol Empire in Central Asia included the destruction of surviving Merkit and Naimans and the conquest of Qara Khitai. These were followed by a major campaign against Khwarazm. Expansion into Central Asia began in 1209 as Genghis Khan sent an expedition to pursue rivals who had fled to the region and threatened his new empire. The Uyghur kingdom Qocho and leaders of the Karluks submitted voluntarily to the Mongol Empire and married into the imperial family.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gazikumukh Shamkhalate</span> Term denoting the Kumyk-Lak state

"Gazikumukh Shamkhalate" is a term introduced in Russian-Dagestan historiography starting from the 1950s–60s to denote the Kumyk state that existed on the territory of present-day Dagestan in the period of the 8th to 17th centuries with the capital in Gazi-Kumukh, and allegedly disintegrated in 1642. However, In the 16th century's Russian archival sources Tarki is stated to be the "capital of Shamkhalate" and "the city of Shamkhal", while "Kazi-Kumuk" is mentioned as a residence. These facts contradict "1642 disintegration" date. Moreover, there is absolutely no source before the 1950s containing the term "Gazikumukh Shamkhalate" or a statement that Gazi-Kumukh had ever been the capital of Shamkhalate. Historically, Shamkhalate is widely described as Tarki Shamkhalate or just Shamkhalate.
