Daniyal Bek
Daniyal Bek was the last sultan of Elisu, a small Muslim principality on the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus. Although a major general in Russian service, he joined Imam Shamil in 1844, and Russia abolished his sultanate. He became one of Shamil's naibs and a relative by marriage, before making peace with Russia in 1859 and later leaving for the Ottoman Empire.
