# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Meñli I Giray was born in 1445, the sixth son of Hacı I Giray. He first became khan of the Crimean Khanate in 1466 but lost power quickly. He returned in 1469 and ruled until 1475, when he was deposed a second time. In 1478 he seized the throne again and held it for thirty-seven years, finally dying in office in 1515. His reign spanned the better part of half a century, interrupted only by the two intervals when rivals pushed him out.
