Hüleguids

The Hüleguids were descendants of Hülegü, founder of the Ilkhanate over Persia and Iraq. The claimant Musa Khan, a grandson of Baydu, fled to Baghdad in 1336 amid struggles over the shattered empire.

Musa joined Togha Temür in 1337 and occupied Soltaniyeh, but was captured and killed that July. Arab Iraq passed to Hasan Buzurg's Jalayirids. In the fifteenth century the Al-Mughamis held Basra under Qara Qoyunlu and Aq Qoyunlu overlordship; after the Moshasha, Ismail I took the city in 1508 for the Safavids.
