Chupan

Amir Chupan (c. 1262–1327) was a Mongol of the Sulduz clan who became commander-in-chief and power behind the Ilkhanid throne, founder of the Chupanid dynasty. After quelling Gilan in 1307 he was made amir al-umara by Il-Khan Öljeitü, whose daughter he married. Under Abu Sa'id he crushed Amir Irinjin's revolt in 1319 and married the Il-Khan's sister Sati Beg.

In August 1327 Abu Sa'id killed his son Demasq Kaja; his army deserted and he fled to Herat, where the Kartid ruler had him strangled that November.
