Elteber (Old Turkic: 10px10px10px10px10px, elteber〔(Ethno Cultural Dictionary, TÜRIK BITIG )〕) was the client king of an autonomous but tributary tribe or polity in the hierarchy of the Turkic khaganates and Khazar Khaganate. In the case of the Khazar Khaganate, the rulers of such vassal peoples as the Volga Bulgars (only until 969, after that they were independent and created a powerful state), Burtas and North Caucasian Huns were titled elteber or some variant such as ''Ilutwer'', ''Ilutver'' (North Caucasian Huns), ''Yiltawar'' or İltäbär (Volga Bulgaria) (until 969). An Elteber (Almış) is known to have met the famous Muslim traveller Ibn Fadlan and requested assistance from the Abbasids of Baghdad. The earliest extant mention of the term is for a ruler of the North Caucasian Huns in the 680s, referred to in Christian sources from Caucasian Albania as ''Alp Ilutuer''. The title was also mentioned in ''Letter to Kültegin'' in 732. It was used by rulers of pre-Islamic Volga Bulgaria during the period of their vassalage to the Khazars. ==See also== *Volga Bulgaria *Ibn Fadlan *Eastern Europe 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elteber」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
