Kebek

Kebek, a son of Duwa, overthrew Taliqu in 1308 or 1309 and became Chagatai khan. Near Almaliq he defeated the invading sons of Kaidu, ending the Ögedeid threat, but at a quriltai in 1310 he yielded the throne to his brother Esen Buqa.

When Esen Buqa died around 1320, Kebek ruled again and killed the rebel prince Yasa'ur. He kept peace with the Yuan, standardized the coinage, promoted agriculture, and built Qarshi as his capital. He died around 1326, succeeded by his brother Eljigidey.
