Шаблон:Good article Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox royalty Ghars al-Din Khalil Beg (Шаблон:Lang-tr; died April 1386) was the second ruler of the Turkoman Dulkadirid principality, reigning from 1353 to 1386. Having actively taken part in military pursuits during his father Zayn al-Din Qaraja's rule, he further expanded the influence of the Dulkadirids and clashed with the Mamluk suzerainty, contributing to the growing tension between the Mamluks and Dulkadirids. Raids by Khalil in the northern frontier with the Mamluks prompted the Mamluk sultan to provoke dissension in the Dulkadir dynasty. The sultan incited Khalil's brother Sarim al-Din Ibrahim, who sought Mamluk recognition for his domains near Harpoot, to assassinate the ruler, Khalil. Ghars al-Din was killed in an ambush and was succeeded by his other brother Shaban Suli.

Early life and background

Khalil was the son of Zayn al-Din Qaraja, a Turkoman chieftain who, after a series of clashes with other local Turkoman lords and Mamluk governors, was recognized by the Mamluk Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad as the na'ib of the lands stretching from Marash to Elbistan in 1337.Шаблон:Sfn During Qaraja's rule, Khalil actively took part in his father's military campaigns. He captured Elbistan in the name of his father from the rival Turkoman lord Taraqlu Khalil bin Tarafi,Шаблон:Sfn in 1335Шаблон:Sfn or 1337, which served as the capital until the fall of the Dulkadirids.Шаблон:Sfn

Qaraja, who had rocky diplomatic relations with the Mamluks, eventually declared independence in 1348.Шаблон:Sfn As a result, the Mamluks sacked and occupied Elbistan, prompting Qaraja to escape to the mountains. In order to help his father gain some time, Khalil attacked the Mamluk army with 20 of his men but was captured.Шаблон:Sfn In 1353, Qaraja took refuge in the court of the Eretnid ruler Ghiyath al-Din Muhammad,Шаблон:Sfn but at the request of the Mamluks Qaraja was sent to Aleppo in chains on 22 September 1353, for which Muhammad was paid 500,000 dinars. One of Qaraja's sons attempted to rescue his father in an unsuccessful attack on Aleppo. This further angered the sultan, Sultan Salih, who demanded Qaraja's transfer to Cairo. There, Qaraja was berated by the sultan, imprisoned in the Citadel of Cairo for 48 days, and tortured to death on 11 December 1353. His corpse was left hanging in Bab Zuweila for 3 days.Шаблон:Sfn

Rise to power

After Qaraja's death, Khalil was not recognized as the new ruler by the Mamluks. On 10 June 1354, Ramadan Beg of the Ramadanids visited Cairo with a gift of a thousand horses for the Mamluk sultan, wishing to be granted the right to rule Qaraja's lands. The Mamluks recognized Ramadan as the emir of the Turkomans. The Ramadanids, who led the Üçok tribal confederation in Çukurova, were unable to establish their authority over the neighboring Bozok tribal confederation, which was under the influence of the Dulkadirids and Khalil Beg. When it became clear that the Ramadanids could not consolidate their power and there was the possibility of a clash between the Dulkadirids and the Ramadanids, the Mamluks finally recognized Khalil as the new ruler of the Dulkadirids in 1355.Шаблон:Sfn

Rule

During Khalil's rule, the Dulkadirids expanded their borders and frequently interacted with the Mamluks and Kadi Burhan al-Din,Шаблон:Sfn who had usurped the rule of the Eretnid Sultanate from Muhammad II Chelebi as his regent in Sivas in 1381.Шаблон:Sfn Khalil's domain included Marash, Zamantu, Darende, Tephrike, Melitene, Harpoot, Besni, Amid, and Amuq. Khalil's wish to become independent and increase his influence like his father exacerbated Mamluk-Dulkadirid relations.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1352 or 1353, prior to his recognition as ruler, Khalil sought to expand the Dulkadirid lands towards the Euphrates corridorШаблон:Sfn and retaliate for what he considered his father's betrayal.Шаблон:Sfn This included an attempt to capture Malatya and the castle of Zamantu. The attack on Malatya was unsuccessful, since the natives secured Mamluk authority in 1360, but Khalil captured Zamantu and incorporated it as a core Dulkadirid territory.Шаблон:Sfn The fortress of Harpoot, initially controlled by the Eretnids,Шаблон:Sfn changed hands for several times, first surrendering to Khalil in 1364 but returning to the Mamluks in the winter of 1366. Khalil retook Harpoot in September 1378. This victory was followed by a joint Dulkadir-Ramadanid attack on the Mamluk emir Tīmūrbay of Aleppo near Ayas in February 1379 as well as a major Dulkadirid victory near Marash.Шаблон:Sfn

As a response to continuous Dulkadirid raids near Aleppo, the Mamluks captured Marash and advanced to Elbistan, which had been left defenseless. These major losses prompted Khalil to seek new alliances. Kadi Burhan al-Din was the Eretnid vizier who overthrew his ruler and took over Eretnid rule. Khalil began cooperating with Burhan al-Din and married his son and heir Mehmed to Burhan al-Din's daughter. With his support, Khalil plundered the Mamluk-controlled towns of Darende and Divriği, also recapturing Elbistan and Marash in 1384 although control of Elbistan and Marash did not last. Barquq, the new Mamluk sultan, made an effort to thwart Dulkadirid ambitions by provoking conflict between Khalil's brothers and secure Khalil's assassination.Шаблон:Sfn

Assassination

The Mamluks commissioned Khalil's brother, Sarim al-Din Ibrahim, to kill Khalil. Ibrahim had earlier traveled to Cairo to seek recognition from the Mamluks as the lord of Harpoot.Шаблон:Sfn From Aleppo,Шаблон:Sfn Ibrahim deployed his troops to the yaylak between Marash and Aintab, where Khalil was residing and ambushed him in April 1386.Шаблон:Sfn Khalil's severed head was sent to Cairo, while his body was buried in the turbe of Malik Ghazi located below the Zamantu Castle. Khalil was aged over sixty when he died.Шаблон:Sfn

Family

Khalil had 2Шаблон:Sfn or 3 sons: Mehmed, Ali, and Hamza (who might have been Ali's son instead). Ali became the governor of Elbistan, while Mehmed was the fifth ruler of the principality.Шаблон:Sfn During their father's reign, Mehmed and Ali received land around Aleppo from Barquq, although it is unknown whether this was just an honorary rank or if some service was required.Шаблон:Sfn
