Summary

Description

Ajashiri, Governor of the Province of Hami, at the court of Khalil Sultan in 1405-1406 ("Ajashirin, one of the eastern branch of the Chaghadayids resident in Gansu that governed the principality of Hami.")


  • "Clearly, the presence of Chinggisid dependants at Timur's court contributed to his enormous prestige; and they duly enjoyed the place of greatest honour at his headquarters. When he received Toqtamish's emissary at Aqsulat in 807/1404-5, the Ögödeyid Taīzi Oghlan and the Jochids Chekire (Schiltberger's 'Zegre', a future contestant for the throne of the Qipchaq khanate) and Bash Temür (see above) were seated on his right; Timurid princes had the lowlier position on his left. A miniature in the Diez Album in Berlin, probably dating from the reign of Khalil Sultan and within two or three years of Timur's death, depicts an enthroned monarch, with a number of (named) princes and amirs below him. Again in the place of greatest honour, on Khalil Sultan's right, are four Chinggisids: Täīzī Oghlan (alias Öljei Temür); Chinggis Oghlan (alias Chekire); another Jochid, Yadgar Oghlan (a son of the late khan Temür Qutlugh); and Ajashirin, one of the eastern branch of the Chaghadayids resident in Gansu that governed the principality of Hami. It is striking that the two last-named princes do not even appear in the Timurid narrative sources. In all likelihood, the number of Chinggisids who looked to Timur to enhance or redress their fortunes was greater than those sources indicate." in From Genghis Khan to Tamerlane: The Reawakening of Mongol Asia, Peter Jackson, Yale University Press, 2024, p.351
