Khabul Shah

Khabul Shah was the nominal khan of the Western Chagatai ulus from about 1364, a Chagatai prince descended from Khan Eljigidey. Before his enthronement he lived as a Sufi dervish in a mountain cave and wrote poetry.

In 1364 the emirs Husayn and Timur, having seized Transoxiana, raised him from his dervish's rags to the throne in a ceremony built around the royal cup. He ruled as Amir Husayn's puppet and perished as Timur took power, either deposed in 1366 or executed in 1370.
