Tughlugh Timur Khan (Chagatai and Persian: تغلق تیمور خان; also Tughluq Tömür or Tughluk Timur) (1312/13–1363) was the Khan of Moghulistan from c. 1347 and Khan of the whole Chagatai Khanate from c. 1360 until his death. Esen Buqa (a direct descendant of Chagatai Khan) is believed to be his father.[1] His reign is known for his conversion to Islam[2] and his invasions of Transoxiana.
