Janids
The Janids were a Muslim ruling house in Central Asia . They ruled the Bukhara Khanate from 1599 to 1747/58/85 .
The Janids, also known as Astrakhanids , belonged to the Genghisid Tuqay-Timurids and for a long time stood in the shadow of the Genghisid Scheibanids . Both lines saw themselves as direct descendants of the Mongolian ruler Genghis Khan .
overview
In 1598 the ruler of the Uzbek Khanate , Abdullah (II), died . Afterwards his son Abdul Mu'min and his cousin Pir Muhammed ruled for a short time .
The Astrakhan Prince Yar Muhammed (a descendant of Orda Khan ) fled from the Russians in 1554 after conquering the city of Astrakhan . He had married his son Dschani Muhammed to the daughter Iskander (r. 1561–1583), who thus married into the Scheibanid dynasty.
The sons of this relationship inherited the throne of the Khanate of Bukhara with the extinction of the Scheibanids and established the ruling house of the Janids. In 1599, Baki Mohammad (also Baqi Muhammad , ruled 1599–1605) defeated the Scheibanid Pir Muhammad and thus ended the Scheibanid tradition in Bukhara.
The first Khan was Baki Mohammad , who was able to expand the sphere of power of Bukhara, albeit only temporarily.
Around 1747, Abu'l Faiz , the last real ruler of this house, was assassinated by his regent Muhammad Rahim Bi . After that reigned 1758-85 Abu'l Ghazi , who, however, from Mangit depended -Clan. Ma'sum Shah Murad († 1799), the son-in-law of Abu'l Ghazi and the first ruler of the Mangit, finally deposed the Janids and made the official transition to the Emirate of Bukhara .
