Bat Bayan | |
---|---|
Ruler of Bulgars | |
Reign | 667 to 690 CE |
Predecessor | Kubrat |
Father | Kubrat |
Batbayan ruled the Khazarian Bulgars from 667 to 690 CE. [1] [2] Theophanes and Nicephorus record his rule after the Khazars defeated the Bulgars and Old Great Bulgaria disintegrated in 668 CE. [3]
There is a scholarly theory that he may have been the same person as Bezmer [4] of the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans who may have been also the first son of Kubrat. [5] He was a member of the Dulo clan, who after Kubrat's death in the mid-7th century ruled Old Great Bulgaria, but his rule lasted only three years. [6] Kevin Alan Brook calls him Bayan. [7] Batbayan would subsequently have ruled the Bulgars as a subject of the Khazar Khagan.
