The Mikailan Kingdom (Classical Vaktrian: Ⲙⳅⲕⲁⲓⲗⲁⲋⲧⲁⲛ, Mikaılastan) was a Vaktrian Christian kingdom located in southern Vaktria from 973 to 1356.
History
In 966, Paul the Righteous of the Mikailan dynasty led the Vaktrian Christians of southern Vaktria in a rebellion against the Haltemid Caliphate. In 973, Paul succeeded in establishing the independent Mikailan Kingdom.
In 1052, the Mikailan Kingdom began the Vaktrian Crusade against the Haltemid Caliphate. The kingdom wanted to retake holy site important to Vaktrian Christians, including the city of Scipia in which several monasteries and cathedrals are located. The Mikailan Kingdom came into conflict with the Order of Assassins, an organization of Hasiki Imrani assassins. In 1055, the Order killed Mikailan King Ibrahim I. Soon after, the Mikailan Kingdom ceased its invasion, having made minor territorial gains.
By 1253, the Terranilian Empire had conquered the Maan Emirate and the Haltemid Emirate. It invaded the Mikailan Kingdom in 1254 but was unsuccessful. The Terranilian Empire later conquered the Mikailan Kingdom in 1356.
Religion
Most of the Mikailan Kingdom's populace was part of the Vaktrian Orthodox Church, which played a major role in most aspects of life. The Patriarch was seen as the Kingdom's secondary leader after the Ultvar or King. There were also Astrians present in the early years of the Mikailan Kingdom, but they were persecuted and pushed out.
There was a significant Haythamite population at the northern border. During the Vaktrian Crusade, many were killed and forced to flee into the Haltemid Caliphate. However, beginning in the 12th century, Vaktrian Christians began to tolerate Haythamites due to some similarities, such as observing mass with the consecration of bread and wine. Many Christians thought of Haythamites as non-Muslims. The Mikailan Kingdom traded and cooperated with the Haythamite Nasrid Emirate which was established in 1206.
