Chopan ibn Buday
Chopan ibn Buday (Kumyk: Чопан Будайны уланы, 1569–1588) was a Kumyk[1] shamkhal of Tarki[2][3][4] from 1569 to 1588.[5]
Biography
He descended from the Kumyk dynasty of Shamkhals and was the son of Alibek, according to another version, the son of Budai and thus the nephew of the previous khan, after whose death in 1569 he became the new ruler of Gazikumukh. From the very beginning, in the confrontation against the Russian troops, Chopan II decided to rely on the Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate, with whom an allied treaty was concluded. In 1570, Chopan Shamkhal with his troops took part in the campaign of the Ottoman-Crimean Tatar troops against Astrakhan. However, the campaign was unsuccessful, Astrakhan could not be captured, and, in the end, Shamkhal's allies retreated to Azov.[6]
At the same time, Chopan's troops destroyed the fortress built by the Russians on the Sunzha river, broke into Kabarda, then took part in the battle against the troops of tsar Ivan the Terrible on the side of the Crimean khan Devlet I Giray.
In addition to relations with the Ottoman Sultan Selim II and the Crimean Khan Devlet, he had allies among noble families in Kabarda and is in family ties with the Kaitag utsmis.[7]
In 1576, after the death of Tahmasp I, he supported Ismail II during the struggle for power, but after his death, Chopan went over to the side of the Ottoman Empire.[8] In the same year, together with his brother Tunji-Alav, the Tabasaran Bek Gazi Salih and the Shirvans, he opposed the Persian troops of the Kizilbash, who were forced to leave Shirvan.[8]
