Amir Tulik, Ulusbegi (or chief of the tribe) of the Moghul Khans, contemporary with Isan Bugha I., succeeded by
Amir Bulaji, his brother; raised Tughluk Timur to the throne; succeeded by his son,
Amir Khudaidad, who is said to have reigned about ninety years in Kashghar. He succeeded his father, probably soon after the year 748 H. (1347). In his time Amir Kamar-ud-Din, his uncle, usurped the Khanship of the Moghuls, and for a time also (it would appear) that of the greater part of Alti Shahr. The chronology of Amir Khudaidad's life is very uncertain. He was succeeded by
Amir Sayyid Ali, grandson of Khudaidad (by his son Amir Sayyid Ahmad). Sayyid Ali reigned about twenty-four years — 838 to 861 H. (1435 to 1457) — and was succeeded by his sons.
Muhammad Haidar Mirza in Kashghar, whence he was expelled by his brother.
Saniz Mirza, in Yarkand, who expelled his brother from Kashghar, and reigned seven years. He died 868 H. (1463-4).
Muhammad Haidar Mirza, on his brother's death, succeeded. He is said to have reigned twenty-four years in all, or eight years with imperfect authority and sixteen years with full authority. In 885 h. (1480) he was expelled by his nephew and stepson, Aba Bakr.
Aba Bakr Mirza, son of Saniz, reigned in all forty-eight years. The years of his reign are probably reckoned from the date of his taking possession of Yarkand, about 873 h. (1468-9). He was finally defeated and expelled by Sultan Said Khan, the third son of Sultan Ahmad Khan (Alacha Khan), who changed the dynasty. See Khans of Moghulistan, above. Aba Bakr was murdered 920 h.
It may perhaps help to make matters clear as regards the dates, if I append here, a list of the western branch of the line of Chaghatai Khans (those of Mavara-un-Nahr or Transoxiana), extracted from Mr. Stanley Lane Poole's Muhammadan Dynasties (p. 242).
