[1] She was the daughter of Prince Timur ibn Mansur, bey of the Manghits.

She left Kazan with her two sons and sought refuge with Ivan III of Moscow.

She wished to support her son's right to the throne of Kazan in the power struggle against their halfbrother, her stepson.

She wrote to Ivan III of Moscow and asked him to intervene in Kazan politics to defend the rights of her son, which gave Ivan III a reason to interfere in Kazan politics.

[6] However, the power struggle in Kazan continued, and Nur Sultan became a long term supporter of the alliance between Moscow and the Crimean Khanate on order to protect the interest of her son in Kazan.

In 1510–1511, Nur Sultan visited her sons in Moscow and Kazan in the company of her stepson Sahib I Giray.
