Overview
Uzbek ibn Tughlujay, king of the Dasht in the north, the Golden Horde. He came to rule after Tuqtai in the year 712 AH 1.
Rule and Islam
His deputy, Qutlumur, the deputy of Tuqtai, pledged allegiance to him at the signal of the Khatun, and he made a covenant with him to adopt Islam. He embraced Islam and built a mosque for prayer. Ibn Khaldun reports that one of his amirs objected to him and killed him 1.
Relations with Egypt
There was communication between him and the kings of Egypt. He married his sister to the sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun, and he consummated the marriage 1.
War with Abu Sa'id
Strife broke out between him and Abu Sa'id of the Hulaguids. He sent his army to Azerbaijan and Mawqan, and claimed that Tabriz and Maragha belonged to the Doshi. The war continued until he died, and his son Janibek succeeded him 1.
The year of his death is not fixed in the source. The data estimates it at around 741 AH with a mark of doubt, and the entry needs an additional source.
