Profile

In 1357, Temürtas' father was executed by the forces of the Blue Horde under Jani Beg, and his lands were annexed by the Mongols. In 1360 Temürtas made a bid for the former Chupanid lands, which had by this time fallen into the hands of the Jalayirid Sultanate of Baghdad under Shaykh Uways Jalayir. Hizr, who became khan of the Blue Horde that same year, initially assisted him, but afterwards changed his mind and handed him over to Uways.
