Qarachi

Qarachi (Tatar: Qaraçı) (sometimes spelled Kharachi) was the highest level of nobles (beys) within Turkic khanates of the 12th through 16th centuries.^[1] These included the Siberia Khanate and Kazan Khanate. The name could be applied to the member of the four extended families: Shirin (Şirin), Barghen (Barğın), Arghen (Arğın), Qepchaq (Qıpçaq). These four were the leading non-royal clans of the Crimean Khanate.

The Qarachi beys acted as councillors and advised the Khan at court.^[2] They exercised particular influence during the reigns of Jochi and then later in the Crimean Khanate.^[1]
