The Khanate had an ethnically diverse population of [[Siberian Tatars]], [[Khanty]], [[Mansi]], [[Nenets people|Nenets]] and [[Selkup]] people. ==History== The Khanate of Sibir was founded in the [[fifteenth century]], at a time when the [[Mongols]] of the house of [[Jochi]] were generally in a state of decline. The original capital of the khans was [[Chimgi-Tura]]. The first khan was [[Taibuga]], who was not a member of the [[Borjigin]]. He was succeeded by his son Khoja or Hoca, who was in turn succeeded by his son Mar. The Taibugids' control of the region between the [[Tobol]] and middle [[Irtysh]] was not uncontested. The [[Shaybanids]], descendants of Jochi, frequently claimed the area as their own. Ibak, a member of a junior branch of the Shaybanid house, killed Mar and seized Chimgi-Tura. A Taibugid restoration occurred when Mar's grandson Muhammad fled to the eastern territories around the Irtysh and killed Ibak in battle in c. [[1493]]. Muhammad decided not to remain at Chimgi-Tura, but chose a new capital named [[Qashliq|Iskar]] (or Sibir) located on the Irtysh. The [[Siege of Kazan (1552)|Russian conquest of Kazan]] in [[1552]] prompted the Taibugid khan of Sibir, Yadigar, to seek friendly relations with [[Moscow]]. Yadigar, however, was challenged by a Shaybanid, Ibak's grandson [[Kuchum]]. Several years of fighting ([[1556]]-[[1563]]) ended with Yadigar's death and Kuchum becoming khan. ===Conquest of the Sibir=== {{main|Kuchum}} Kuchum attempted to convert the [[Siberian Tatars]], who were mostly [[Shamanism|Shamanists]], to [[Islam]]. His decision to conduct a raid on the [[Stroganov]] trading posts resulted in an expedition led by the [[Cossack]] [[Yermak]] against the Khanate of Sibir. Kuchum's forces were defeated by Yermak at the [[Battle of Chuvash Cape]] in [[1582]] and the Cossacks entered Iskar later that year. Kuchum reorganized his forces, killed Yermak in battle in [[1584]], and reasserted his authority over Sibir. Over the next fourteen years, however, the Russians slowly conquered the khanate. In [[1598]] Kuchum was defeated on the banks of the [[Ob]] and was forced to flee to the territories of the [[Nogai Horde|Nogai]], bringing an end to his rule. ==See also== *[[Russian conquest of Siberia]] *[[List of Turkic states and empires]] *[[History of Siberia]] ==References== *Forsyth, James.
