Turan Shah of Hormuz

Turan Shah ruled the island kingdom of Hormuz as sultan from 1346 to 1377, succeeding his father Qutb al-Din Tahamtan over the Persian Gulf port whose ships traded with India and China.

In Shiraz the poet Hafez names both Tahamtan and his son Turan Shah among the Hormuzi rulers he praised. When Turan Shah died in 1377, after more than thirty years on the throne, the crown passed to his son.
