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]
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]
