From the very beginning of its existence, the rulers of the khanate[1] began to claim supremacy among the Kumyk princes. In 1605, Sultan Mahmud, in alliance with the Shamkhal, defeated the Russian army in the Battle of Karaman . The rulers of Endirey conducted campaigns in Kabarda , fought against the Terek Cossacks and Kalmyks , and conducted independent diplomatic games with the Ottoman Empire, Iran, and the Russian Tsardom. Under the grandsons of Sultan-Mut, the Kostekovsky and Aksayevsky appanages emerged from the Endirey Khanate , after which the Endirey Khanate significantly shrank, although it continued to maintain a priority position in the Terek-Sulak interfluve[3]
During the Persian campaign, Endirey was burned for resisting Emperor Peter I, which led to the weakening of the principality.
Territory
[edit]The territory of the Endirey Khanate in the 16th-17th centuries covered the lands of the Terek-Sulak interfluve with the lower part of Michikich and the Salatavsky district up to Mount Kerkhi, located on the border of Gumbet . In the east it was washed by the waters of the Caspian Sea , and in the west it bordered on the Salatavsky union of rural communities[4]
