Qutlugh Khwaja
Qutlugh Khwaja (d. 1299/1300) was a son of
Ilkhans
allowed him to settle with his Qaranaus in Afghanistan, though they were struggling with each other.
He launched several attacks on both the
Mamluks in Delhi. In the end of 1299, a larger force under Khwaja reached the very outskirts of Delhi, leading to the Battle of Kili. Sultan Alauddin Khalji led his entire army to give battle to the Mongols — he engaged the Mongol center while his left wing broke the Mongol formation opposite them and penetrated into their rear lines. This created panic in the rest of the army and the Mongols retreated from Delhi
.
Qutlugh Khwaja was mortally wounded during his return from India in 1299–1300. He was succeeded by his lieutenant Taraghai (Targhi), and then It-qul. After It-qul, Qutlugh Khwaja's son Daud Khwaja inherited his realm and soldiers.[2]
