Buqa Temür
open-in-new
<p>Buqa Temür was <a href="/facts/Khan_(title)/ICwa6Blk">Khan</a> of the <a href="/facts/Chagatai_Khanate/gzff8xUM">Chagatai Khanate</a> (1272?-1282). He was the son of Qadaqchi. </p><p>Sometime around 1272 Buqa Temür killed <a href="/facts/Neg%C3%BCbei/SwLFNCoF">Negübei</a>, who had risen in revolt against <a href="/facts/Kaidu/eb7VIgEd">Kaidu</a>. Perhaps as a reward for this, Kaidu appointed him as head of the Chagatai Khanate. Soon after, he was stricken by illness, and the rest of his reign was marked by a failure to impose his authority. He was helpless against the raids of the sons of <a href="/facts/Alghu/PCPs1Ywr">Alghu</a> and <a href="/facts/Baraq_(Chagatai_Khan)/W83Ge97s">Baraq</a>, as well as forces of the <a href="/facts/Ilkhanate/ukltWdQk">Ilkhanate</a>. In 1282 he was replaced by <a href="/facts/Duwa/R02XsVEh">Duwa</a>. </p>
