GUTLUG HAN TÜRKMENS (In Kirman)

619-703            1222-1303

Barak Hacip, who was one of the servants of Alaeddin of Koneurgenj (HarezmShah), declared his rule in Kirman in 1222 (619). They came from Garahytays and established their rule just after Jengiz Han attacked Koneurgenj. The Mogul leader, Ugedey, acknowledged Barak’s rulership and gave him the title of Gutlug Han. Thereafter, Gutlug leaders always remained loyal to the Moguls. Two of the leaders married Mogul wives, and the daughter of the last ruler married Muhammed, the ruler of the Muzaffars in Iran.
