Darwish Ghali II of Astrakhan

Darwish Ghali II of Astrakhan

Darwish Ghali khan (Tatar: Därwiş Ğäli xan)(?-~1558) was a khan of the Astrakhan Khanate from 1554 until the khanate's fall in 1556. He was a grandson of the khan Akhmad. With the support of Nogai noble Ismaghil and the Russian military forces, he occupied the Xacitarxan throne. Later Yamghurchi khan was defeated by the Russians, and with the help of the noble Yusif's sons, Darwish Ghali finally defeated Yamghurchi in 1555. In that year, he was defeated by Ismaghil and left Xacitarxan. However, with the help of Ivan IV of Russia, he returned to the throne again. Nevertheless, he started a struggle against pro-Muscovite nobles and placed a Turkish garrison in Xacitarxan. After the Russian conquest of the Astrakhan khanate, he still struggled against the Russians in guerrilla war. After the final debacle, he went to Azov (Azaq) and later to Mecca.
