Bayğötdin I of Crimea

Bayğötdin I (13th March 1875 - 23rd August 1958, 83) was the fourth and last Khagan of the Kingdom of Crimea as well as the leader of the Tsazjei. His full title was Bayğötdin I, Holy Emperor of Crimea and her spheres, Defender of the Faith, and Guardian of the people of Crimea. He reigned from 18th November 1917 to 30th January 1944 until he was deposed in a military coup by General Ksawery Romanovich before being exiled to Spain by the Socialist Workers Party of Vyrodia in 1945. His reign as Khagan was controversial with over 2 million people dying under his rule.

Born into the House of Klubanvych in 1875 Bayğötdin was destined to become Khagan after the creation of the Kingdom of Crimea, being the son of Crown Prince Nikolai, the heir apparent to the imperial throne. In 1889 to cement an alliance with Austria-Hungary he was married to the daughter of Franz Joseph I, Archduchess Marie Valerie In 1901 Nikolai was crowned as Khagan of Crimea, prompting Bayğötdin to become Crown Prince. During World War One Bayğötdin's father died causing him to become Khagan of Crimea. Bayğötdin successfully negotiated a peace treaty between Crimea and Russia shortly after coming to power and eventually one with the Romania. Shortly after WWI Crimea was threatened with being thrown into civil war when communists revolted against the Imperium, causing Bayğötdin to crack down harshly on leftists ushering the ultra-nationalist Tsazjei into power.
