Kubrat (Xubraat, Qubrat, Qobrat; (ギリシア語:Kούβρατος, Κοβρāτος); (ブルガリア語:Кубрат); Turkic ''qobrat/quvrat'', "to gather") was the Bulgars ruler credited with establishing the confederation of Old Great Bulgaria in c. 635 AD. In the ''Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans'' Kubrat is mentioned as ''Kvrt'', and the descendant of the Dulo clan. ==History== Kubrat spent his early life at the Byzantine Empire imperial palace in Constantinople. As the 7th-century Byzantine historian John of Nikiu narrates: Whether he was a child or a young adult during his time in Constantinople is unclear. The exact time of this event is also unknown but probably coincided with the reign of Emperor Heraclius (r. 610–641). His or Organa's conversion to Christianity is placed circa 619 AD. It seems that young Kubrat was part of the pre-planned coalition, initiated by Heraclius or Organa, against the Sasanian–Avar alliance. This coincides with other alliances by Heraclius with steppe peoples, all in the interest of saving Constantinople. Kubrat, in 635, according to Nikephoros I, "''ruler of the Onoğundur–Bulğars, successfully revolted against the Avars and concluded a treaty with Heraclius''". The state Old Great Bulgaria (Magna Bulgaria) was formed. Kubrat died "''when Konstantinos was in the West''", somewhere during the reign of Constans II (641–668). According to Nikephoros I, Kubrat instructed his five sons (Batbayan, Kotrag, Asparukh, two others unmentioned are considered to be Kuber and Alcek) to "''never separate their place of dwelling from one another, so that by being in concordance with one another, their power might thrive''". However, the loose tribal union broke up under internal tensions and especially Khazars pressure from the East. 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「Kubrat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
