Qasim Khan Khan of the Tatar Qasim Khanate Reign 1452 – 1469 Predecessor None Successor Daniyal ibn Qasim Died 1469 (1470) Father Ulugh Muhammad

**Qasím Khan** ([Volga Türki](/source/Volga_T%C3%BCrki) and [Persian](/source/Persian_language): قاسم خان; also known as *Qasim of Kasimov*; died 1469) was the first [khan](/source/Khan_(title)) of the [Tatar](/source/Tatars) [Qasim Khanate](/source/Qasim_Khanate), from 1452[1] until his death in 1469. He was the son of the [Kazan](/source/Kazan) khan [Oluğ Möxämmäd](/source/Olu%C4%9F_M%C3%B6x%C3%A4mm%C3%A4d).

## Life

He participated in the battles of [Belyov](/source/Battle_of_Belyov) in 1437, and of [Suzdal](/source/Battle_of_Suzdal) in 1445. After the battle of Suzdal, he and his brother Yaqub were sent to [Moscow](/source/Moscow) to control the results of the treaty. He stayed at the palace of [Vasily II of Moscow](/source/Vasily_II_of_Moscow) to serve him; when his father died in 1445, the throne of [Kazan](/source/Kazan) went to his elder brother [Mäxmüd](/source/M%C3%A4xm%C3%BCd), which may have something to do with his decision to enter Russian service.

In 1449, at the Pakhra River near Moscow, he defeated the troops of [Sayid Ahmad I](/source/Sayid_Ahmad_I), the khan of the [Great Horde](/source/Great_Horde), that came to conquer [Muscovy](/source/Grand_Duchy_of_Moscow).

In 1447–1453, he supported Vasily in his struggle against [Dmitry Shemyaka](/source/Dmitry_Shemyaka). In 1452, Vasily II granted him a principality in [Ryazan](/source/Principality_of_Ryazan), in the territory formerly belonging to [Mishar Yurt](/source/Mishar_Yurt), as a hereditary estate, and [Kasimov](/source/Kasimov) city. Those lands were designated the [Qasim Khanate](/source/Qasim_Khanate).

During the [1467–1469 war](/source/Russo-Kazan_Wars), the Russians attempted to make him the khan of Kazan. In 1469, he was succeeded by his son Daniyal.
