“Çoban Geraylar” Kırım Hanlığı tarihinde tahta kadar yükselmiş bir soydur. Bununla birlikte, yaygın Kırım tarihçiliğinde, daha doğrusu “asıl” Geraylar'ın hiç değilse önemli bir kısmının rivayetinde “Çoban Geraylar”ın gayri-meşru bir kökene dayandığı ve Geray hânedânıyla kan bağının bulunmadığı tekrarlana gelmiştir. Ancak, bu klişe sorgulanmaya ve dönemin kaynakları yeniden tetkike muhtaçtır. Her şeyden önce söz konusu iddialar esasen buna ilişkin olaylardan bir asrı aşkın zaman sonraki dönemlerin tarihçilerine aitken, çağdaş kaynaklar bunları doğrulamamaktadır. Dahası, “Çoban Geraylar”ın mütekip devirlerde “asıl” yahut diğer Geraylarla esasen aynı imtiyaz ve unvanlara sahip oldukları görülmektedir.
“The Shepherd Geraylar” is a slave that has risen up to the tree in the history of the Crimean Heritage. However, in the widespread Crimean history, more precisely, it has been repeated that in the revision of a significant part of the “real” Gerayes, if not at all, that the “Coban Gerayes” were based on an unfair root and that there was no blood bond with the Geray hinduism. However, this cliché needs to be questioned and the sources of the period are re-examined. First of all, these claims belong essentially to the historians of more than a century of the subsequent periods of events related to it, while contemporary sources cannot confirm them. Furthermore, it appears that the "Pastor Gerayes" have essentially the same privileges and titles as "real" or other Gerayes in the conflict periods.
The Chinghiside Geray dynasty was the royal house of the Crimean Khanate. Whether a particular pedigree, the so-called “Shepherd Gerays” (Çoban Geraylar), actually belonged to the Geray dynasty has long been a matter of query. In fact, among the “Shepherd Gerays” were a khan (Âdil Geray Khan) and several Geray sultans (princes) who held significant posts in the khanate. Nevertheless, there has been a common tendency among many of the other or “full-blooded” members of the Geray dynasty to reject any consanguinity with them, alleging that they were “illegitimate offsprings of a shepherd” unworthy of belonging to the Crimean royal house. This notion has been frequently reiterated almost as an axiom in the mainstream historiography of the Crimean Khanate too. A critical reassesment of the source material, particularly the contemporary ones, however, hardly validates these commonplace convictions about the origins and position of the “Shepherd Gerays.” One may observe that, though more often than not their “distinctiveness” was underscored, the “Shepherd Gerays” enjoyed almost the same priviliges and titles in line with other Gerays. The present article argues that, in all likelihood, the “Shepherd Gerays” were indeed a collateral branch of the Geray house.
