Simsir

Simsim also known as the Kingdom of Chechnya was either a historical region or kingdom in the North Caucasus during the Middle Ages, existing in the 14th century. Historians broadly localize Simsim within the historical territories of Chechnya and Ingushetia, though some focus on Ichkeria and the adjacent Kumyk Plain. According to folklore, Gayur-khan was chosen as the ruler of Simsim by the Mehk-Khel. During its later years, the kingdom allied with the Golden Horde before being destroyed in 1395 by Timurlane, which was recorded in Zafarnama by Nizam al-Din Shami and the Zafarnama by Sharaf ad-Din Ali Yazdi.
