Mongol Muslim Emir Edigei Mangit, Prince Nogaisky

Edigu was from the Crimean Manghud tribe, the son of Baltychak, a Turkic noble who was defeated and killed by Khan Tokhtamysh of the Golden Horde in 1378. He gained fame as a highly successful general of Tokhtamysh before turning the arms against his master. By 1396, he was a sovereign ruler of a large area stretching between the Volga and Ural (known locally as Yayyk) rivers, which would later be called the Nogai Horde. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edigu

Edigu was a Tarkhan (Under the Chinggisids, Tarkhan was not a purely honorary title but referred to a personal status)

The khans used theTarkhan status to bind local landholders to them. Thesenotables had no blood link with the Chinggisid Dynasty, nor were they warriors or officials of any sort. But they were exempted from many obligations, protected against arbitrary administrative acts and fiscal and parafiscal taxes (Legrand, 1979:161), and enjoyed a relative immunity with regard to certain infractions.

The Manghit, or Nogay Confederation, had pasturelands in western Kazakhstan up to the Yayiq (Ural) and Emba Rivers. Under the leadership of Bek Edigü(ca.1396-1419), they emerged as an autonomous political force. Edigü had secured the Manghits’ position by extorting tax immunity and vast territories east of the
Volga from Toqtamish.

Yedigei ( Edige [1] , Edige, Edyge, Edyge, Idigov Idigov Idigov [2] , Idike [3] Idiku [2] , Edigey, Edige, Edygey, Edyge ; 1352 - 1419 ) - temnik Golden Horde end XIV - the beginning of the 15th centuries. Founder of the Mangyt yurt and the dynasty that led the Nogai Horde . His direct descendants in the male line were the princes Urusovs , Sheidyakovs (Shidakovs) and Yusupovs . Origin Edigei was born into the family of Beklarbek Baltychak from the Mongolian [4] tribe of Mangyts , having inherited the post of his father [5] . According to the chronicle of Kadyr-Ali-bek, Edige's family tree goes back to Abubekir, who had two sons: Keremet-Aziz and Jalal-al-din. The latter was the father of Baba Tukles, who had four sons. Relying on other sources, Kadyr-Ali-bek claims that there were three sons, one of whom was buried near the Kaaba , the other in the Crimea, and the third in Urgench . Further information about the ancestors of Edige in the pedigree given by Kadyr-Ali-bek is identical to the pedigree of the princes Yusupovs [6] and Urusovs [7] .

Persian sources of the 15th century directly call Edige the son of Baltychak. Baltychak was a beklerbek (Amir Al-umara) under the left wing khan Timur-Melik bek Urus. The latter was defeated by Tokhtamysh in 1378. The victorious khan offered Baltychak to go to his service, but was proudly refused, for this Tokhtamysh executed the beklerbek [8] [9] [10] .

El Mangyts in the interfluve of the Volga - Ural - Emba were considered the own possessions of the Edige beklerbek at the end of the 14th - early 15th centuries. Along with the fact that El Mangyt was an integral part of the Golden Horde, it was an autonomous entity within the Ulus of Jochi [11] [12] . According to V.V. Trepavlov , the eastern Kipchaks [com 1] , who roamed in the nutaga of the manguts , became mangyts [com 2] . Isa's father and elder brother served Urus Khan , and Edigei, for some unknown reason, was forced to flee. Fleeing from Urus-khan, after the young Tokhtamysh he arrived at the court of Tamerlane , in whose troops he began his service. Sister Edigey was the wife of Tamerlane. By the time of Tamerlane's campaign against Tokhtamysh in 1391, he was one of the main emirs (military leaders) of the army. Soon after the defeat of Tokhtamysh, Edigey, together with Timur-Kutlug - oglan and another White HordeEmir Kunche-oglan began to ask Tamerlane to let them go home under the pretext of gathering people for Tamerlane's army. Tamerlane, who believed them, released the commanders to their homeland, where they began to pursue their own policy (only Kunche-oglan returned back).
