	Khagan Bek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Khagan Bek is the title used by the Bek of the Khazars.
		Khazar kingship was divided between the khagan and the Bek or Khagan Bek.
		Contemporary Arab historians related that the Khagan was purely a spiritual ruler or figurehead with limited powers, while the Bek was responsible for administration and military affairs.

		The date of his reign is unknown, as the date of the conversion is hotly disputed, though it is certain that Bulan reigned some time between the mid-700s and the mid-800s.
		Nor is it settled whether Bulan was the Bek or the Khagan of the Khazars.
		D.M. Dunlop was certain that Bulan was a Khagan; however, more recent works, such as The Jews of Khazaria by Kevin Brook, assume that he was the Bek due to references to him leading military campaigns.

		The Uigur khagan, called Mo-yen-cho by the Chinese, or Ko-lo khagan (745-759), readily welcomed the request of the emporor Su-tsung, and in return was granted the hand of a Chinese princess in marriage.
		The Uigur khagan's prolinged stay in Loyang had important conse-quences in the spiritual sphere, for it was there that he became acquainted with Manichaean missionaries-no doubt of Sogdian origin-whom he took back with him to Mongolia and by whom he was converted to Manichaeism.
		This ancient Persian religion, born of a curious Mazdeo-Christian syncretism and persecuted both in Iraq and Iran by the Arabs, was thus the benificiary of an unexpected stroke of luck: the conversion to its doctrine of the Uigur empire, then at the height of its power as lord of Mongolia and the ally of China.
