Overview
Chaghatay ibn Genghis Khan, whom Ibn Khaldun calls "Kadai" among them, son of Genghis Khan and brother of Jochi. 1
His share of the kingdoms
His father assigned him the lands between the Uyghur country, Samarqand, Bukhara and Transoxiana. 1
After his death
Ibn Khaldun relates that he died without his affair being settled, so Mengu-Timur appointed his sons over Transoxiana, in fulfilment of Genghis Khan's bequest to their father. The kingdom remained in his descendants in Samarqand and its districts. 1
