Qaplan I Giray was a Crimean Khan who ruled the Crimean Khanate three times between 1707 and 1708, 1713 and 1715, and 1730 and 1736.[1][2]
First Reign (1707–1708)[]
He came to the throne in 1707 following the deposition of his brother Ğazı III Giray. His kalga and nureddin were his brothers Meñli II Giray and Maksud. Maksud soon died and was followed by Sahib, another brother. He sent Mengli to discuss things with the Circassians or Kabardians. Mengli was arrogant, the Kabardians attacked and killed many of his men, but Mengli escaped. Qaplan then led a large army against the rebellious Kabardians, including 3,000 Turks. The war was a disaster (Battle of Kanzhal, September 1708). He lost most of his men, including the Shirin and Mansur begs, was wounded in the arm and fled. For this, and perhaps because he had given asylum to some fleeing Cossacks,[3] he was deposed and exiled to Rhodes. His brother Devlet was restored.
1708–1713[]
Devlet's second reign mostly involved the consequences of the Battle of Poltava. Devlet was removed and Qaplan restored partly due to his treatment of the exiled Swedish king.
Second Reign (1713–1715)[]
He appointed as kalga and nureddin his brothers Meñli II Giray and Safa. His first task was to send Mengli to deal with the Kuban Nogais who had revolted under Bakhti Giray, the eldest son of his brother Devlet II. The Turks called him to fight in the Balkans. The beys resisted, there were delays and when he, or perhaps his brother Selyamet, arrived too late the Turks removed him. For the possibility that he was dethroned in 1716 rather than 1715, see the talk page.
1716–1738[]
Pending.
