The Giray Khans were descendants of Chingiz Khan and rulers of the Crimean Khanate from 1441 to 1783. Established by Haci I Giray, it was the longest-lived of the Turkic khanates that succeeded the Golden Horde. The Khanate was also known as Qirim Hanligi, Qirim Yurtu, Great Horde and Desht-i Kipchak, and in old European historiography and geography as Little Tartary or Tartaria Minor. It lasted until April 8, 1783, when Catherine II of Russia annexed the whole Crimean Peninsula as the Taurida Governorate.
