He ascended the throne after a long struggle against the khans of the Golden Horde for the independence of the Crimean Khanate in which he was supported by the Grand Duchy Of Lithuania . While some sources state he came to power as early as 1428 or 1434, the first coins of Haci Giray are not earlier than 1441. Haci I Giray founded the insignia of Golden Horde . He established his residence in Salaçıq village (the vicinities of modern Bakhchisaray near the Çufut Qale fortress). A contemporary European source, ''The Chronicle of Dlugosz'', described him as a person of outstanding personal values and a perfect governor. In 1456 he was deposed for a short period by the revolt of his own son Hayder , but was restored that the same year. Haci I Giray is buried in the Durbe in Salaçıq in Bakhchisaray .
