Khingila I

Khingila I

Khingila I (Firdowsi: Shengil, Alkhano: Khigi, Chinese: Cha-Li) c.430-490 apparently of the "Haital" (Chinese: 厌哒 or 嚈噠) tribe from Kushan (Chinese: 貴霜), contemporary with Akhshunwar (fl. 484) in Khwarezm. :"A great fog arose from the sea scaring people and this was followed by countless number of vultures descending on the people." In response to this migration of the Wusun (hard-pressed by the Rouran) from Balkhash to the Pamir (Chinese:葱嶺) region Khingila united the Uar (Chinese: 滑) and the Xiyon (Chinese: 西戎) in 460AD establishing his Hepthalite (Chinese: 厌带夷栗陁) dynasty. The need for new grazing to replace that lost to the Wusun led Khingila's "Uar-Chionites" to displace the Sabirs to the west; who in turn displace the Saragur, Ugor and Onogur -who then asked for an alliance and land from Byzanteum (according to the Syrian compilation of Church Historian Zacharias Rhetor bishop of Mytilene).
