Shah Khan
Shah Khan (
Chagatai and
Persian: شاه خان; r. 1545 – 1570 C.E.) was the eldest son of
Mansur Khan, who in 1545 C.E. retired due to ill health and handed over the reins of government to his son. Shah Khan proved to be a poor leader. He was disrespectful to his father's nobles. He was insolent and did not follow court etiquette. After the death of his father Shah Khan's younger brother
Muhammad Khan ibn Mansur Khan, took
Hami and declared his independence with the aid of
Kalmyks or
Oirats. This forced Shah Khan to take military action. Little is known of his life thereafter. It is unclear whether he was successful in subduing his brother, but when he died in 1570,
Muhammad Khan ibn Mansur Khan was Khan at
Turpan.
