History

Inal, who ruled Western Circassia at that time, organized a campaign to Eastern Circassia in 1434 and established Kabardia province, named after his military general, Kabarda. Inal organized a new campaign to the north in 1438 and drove out Turkic nomads near Circassian settlements north of the Kuban River along the Ten River and expanded its borders to modern Azov. Galonifontibus, Johannes de describes that at the turn of the XIV and XV centuries Circassia expanded its borders north to the mouth of the Don, and he notes that “the city and port of Tana are located in the same country in Upper Circassia, on the Don River, which separates Europe from Asia."[citation needed] Its description matches the extensions of the Original.
