| Title | The Sultans of the Countryside: The Girays' Displacement into Ottoman Rumeli and Widespread Roles in Networks of Violence (1792-1807) |
| Summary | After the fall of the Crimean Khanate in 1783, the majority of the Giray dynasty was forced to settle in the Ottoman Balkans. Their immigration to Rumeli impacted the region in profound ways, and its repercussions reverberated beyond that province throughout the Selimian era (1789-1807). This thesis explores what happened in the aftermath of the Giray khans’ immigration to the Ottoman Balkans. It seeks to understand how the Ottoman central administration managed to absorb the Giray dynasty into Ottoman society, exert Ottoman central control over them, and it also explores how the Girays responded, collectively, to these dramatic shifts in their privileged place within the Ottoman imperial system. On the other hand, it seeks to explore the position of the Girays in Rumeli politics and their roles in shaping the networks of violence and rebellion they found there upon their immigration. |
