Cangali khan
From Freepedia
Canghali (also Jan Ali, Can Ali, Tatar: Canğäli, pronounced: jah-n-gha-LEE) (1516 – 1535) was khan of Qasim in 1519-32 and then Kazan in 1532-35. He was the son of Shayex Allahiar (Şäyex Allahiär) and younger brother of Shahgali. Qasim Khanate was a vassal state of Muscovy. Canghali as its ruler had close ties with Muscovy. In 1532, Vasili III of Russia ousted Kazan khan Safa Giray and established 16 year old Canghali as a puppet ruler of a bigger and generally independent Kazan Khanate. In 1533 Canghali married Soyembika, the daughter of Nogay nobleman. During his reign he was completely manipulated by Bulat Shirin (Bulat Şirin, /boo-LAHY shee-RREEN/) and queen Gawharshat (Gäwhärşat, /geh-w-ha-rr-SHAHT/), widow or sister of Moxammat Amin khan. During 1535 coup of Kazan nobility, he lost the throne and was killed, probably in Iske Qazan.
