Years: 1521 - 1521

Mehmed I Giray, son of Meñli I Giray, had inherited power over the Crimean Tatars after his father's death in 1515.

In 1520, he had signed a temporary alliance with Sigismund, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, against Muscovy.

The Russians have managed to briefly occupy the city of Kazan several times.

In 1521, Mehmed I Giray takes Kazan, where he puts his brother, Sahib I Giray (future Khan of Crimea, also) in power.

Leading a large Tatar army, the brothers defeat Vasili III near Moscow.
