Danishmendji

Danishmendji was a prince of the house of Ögedei whom the Qara'unas amir Qazaghan placed on the Chagatai throne in 1346, after Qazaghan had defeated and killed Khan Qazan.

As the first khan of the Western Chagatai ulus set up by the tribal amirs, he ruled only as Qazaghan's puppet from his seat in Transoxiana. He was executed by Qazaghan in 1348 and replaced by Bayan Qulï.
