Kül Bilge Qadır Khan (Chinese: 阙毗伽·卡迪尔汗; pinyin: Quēpíjiākǎdíěrhàn; Uyghur: بىلگە كۆل قادىرخان) or Bilge Kul Qara Khan[1] was the first known ruler of the Karakhanids.[2]

Tribal affinity

There are different theories on the tribal identity of Bilge Kul khagan. According to Western[citation needed] and Kazakh historiographies, he was a ruler of Isfijab, a descendant of the Karluk yabghu.[3] Alternatively, he was from the Edgish tribe, a part of the Chigils[4][5] or a Yagma. According to Pritsak, he claimed the title "Khaqan" after the fall of Uyghur khaganate since he was from the Ashina dynasty.[6][7][8][9] However, Wei Liangtao claims that he was, in fact, Pang Tegin, a ruler of remnants of the Uyghur ruling dynasty in Khotan.[10] Qian Baiquan doubted that.[11]

The Karluk Djabgu and the ruler of Isfijab, Bilge Kul Qadeer-Khan, took advantage of the situation and proclaimed himself as a sovereign ruler and assumed a new title of Khagan."
