Shah Temur

Shah Temur was a son of the Chagatai khan Yesun Temur and a descendant of Genghis Khan through Chagatai. In 1358 the amir 'Abdullah, son of Qazaghan, murdered the reigning puppet khan Bayan Quli in Transoxiana and raised Shah Temur to the throne of the western Chagatai Khanate.

'Abdullah's rule was weak, and tribal chiefs Hajji Beg of the Barlas and Buyan Suldus rose against him, drove him out, and killed Shah Temur later that same year, leaving the western khanate without a khan.
