Sheikh Muhammad

Sheikh Muhammad (died 1519) was bey of the Nogai Horde from 1508 to 1510 (succeeding Khasan Bey and preceding Alchagir) and from 1516 to 1519 (succeeding Alchagir and preceding Agish Bey). Born to a Manghud family and the son of Musa Bey, he aided the Great Horde against the Crimean Khanate before challenging his brother Alchagir for the rulership of the Nogai Horde in 1510. He was ousted by Alchagir in 1510 before reclaiming power in 1516. He later allied himself with the Crimean Khanate, his brother's protectors, against the Astrakhan Khanate and battled the Kazakhs. He was slain in battle with Astrakhan in 1519.
