Turkic-Tatar khanate on the lower Volga delta near the Caspian Sea, another Golden Horde successor state, formed around 1466.
Conquered by Russian forces in 1556; the Tsardom of Russia dismantled the khanate's slave-trading economy and relocated the city southward to its present site in 1558.
The atlas holds 3 border frames for Astrakhan Khanate — the shape you scrub through changes in 1466 · 1511 · 1547.
No Astrakhan-specific English monograph verifies on Open Library; this is the standard scholarly work on Muscovy's absorption of the Volga-steppe khanates, including the 1556 conquest of Astrakhan.
