Agish Bey

Agish Bey (died 1524) was Bey of the Nogai Horde from 1521 to 1524, succeeding Sheikh Muhammad and preceding Sidakhmet. A son of Yamgurchi, he headed the Manghud uluses until the death of his father, upon which Alchagir became their ruler. He led a campaign against the Crimean Khanate in 1509, but he was captured after his 250,000-strong army was ambushed. Agish Bey later battled Sheikh Muhammad for control of the Nogai Horde, and he was also forced to fight the Kazakh Khanate. He seized power in 1521, and he battled the rival Manghud leader Mamai until his death in battle with the Kazan khan Sahib I Giray in 1524.
