Qara Hülegü

Qara Hülegü (died 1252) was the youngest son of Mutukan and the heir chosen by Chagatai for the Chagatai ulus in 1242. His mother governed as regent during his youth. In 1246 Güyük, favouring his friend Yesü Möngke, deposed Qara Hülegü and gave the throne to his uncle.

He then backed Möngke Khan against the Ögedeids, and after Möngke's election in 1251 was restored. He died on the road in 1252, leaving his widow Orghana to rule as regent for their son Mubarak Shah.
