Xälil of Kazan

Xalil (Volga Türki and Persian: خلیل; Tatar: Халил; pronounced [xæˈlil]; died 1467) was Khan of the Kazan Khanate from 1466 to 1467,[1] but very little is known about him.

However, his name is mentioned in the work of the traveler of the 16th century Sigismund von Herberstein "Notes on Muscovite Affairs" (Rerum Moscoviticarum Commentarii).

Also, Karl Fuchs in his work of 1817, using the ancient Tatar list of Kazan khans, mentions the name Xälil.

After Ibrahim died in 1479, Nur-Sultan married the Crimean Khan Meñli I Giray, her third husband.

According to one version, Xälil died in prison, where he had ended up due to fresh hostilities between the Kazan Khanate and the Golden Horde.
