Irbis (Khazar)

Irbis
Irbis
House	Ashina
Religion	Tengrism

Irbis (fl. 650 or 652) was according to a number of Russian sources the founder of the Khazar Khaganate.^[1] The Khazars traced their origin to the Turkic Ashina clan who also founded the Onok Khaganate and Turkic Khaganate in Central Asia.^[2]

Peter Golden notes that Chinese and Arabic reports are almost identical, making the connection a strong one, and conjectures that the Khazar leader may have been Irbis Seguy, who lost power or was killed around 651.^[3]
