Melik Temür

Melik Temür (died 1307) was a Mongol prince, a son of Ariq Böke. In 1276 he joined Shiregi's revolt against Kublai and, during a dispute among the rebels, supported Sarban in replacing Shiregi; after the revolt failed he took refuge with Kaidu in Central Asia.

In 1306 he abandoned Kaidu's successor Chapar and surrendered to the Yuan prince Qayishan. After Chengzong's death he backed Ananda's failed bid for the throne; Qayishan, reigning as Wuzong, had him put to death at Shangdu in 1307. His great-grandson Arpa later briefly held the Ilkhanid throne.
