The Rashīdī History 5.3

5.3

The death of Sultan Ahmad was followed by many civil wars and much anarchy in Moghulistan. His elder brother, Sultan Mahmud, invaded his dominions from the west. Sultan Ahmad's numerous sons contended with one another. Several sections of the people, and among others the Kirghiz, separated from the main body. The anarchy and civil wars lasted some years. The country was overrun by Aba Bakr (a Dughlat) of Kashghar, by the Kalmaks and the Kazaks. The whole of the tribes of Moghulistan never again united under one head. Two Khanates and the confederation of the Kirghiz-Kazaks seem to have arisen out of the ruins of the Khanate of the Moghuls. Sultan Mansur, the eldest son of Sultan Ahmad, Mansur Khan, Sultan Ahmad's eldest son, was acknowledged and ruled in Turfan and the eastern provinces — i.e., Uighuristan. He died in 950 (1543-4), having reigned two years along with his father, and forty more by himself; he was succeeded by his son, Shah Khan.
established himself in Aksu, Turfan, etc., and a new Khanate arose in Kashghar and the western provinces.
Sultan Said Khan, third son of Sultan Ahmad, in Rajab 920 (Sept. 1514), or eleven years after his father's death, seized Kashghar, and expelled Aba Bakr Mirza. He died 16 Zilhajah 939 (9 July, 1533); and was succeeded by his son, Abdur Rashid Khan, who died 973 (1565-6); and was succeeded by his son, Abdul Karim.
