Person
Alghu
Alghu was khan of the Chagatai Khanate from 1260 to 1266, a grandson of Chagatai Khan. Installed by Ariq Böke during the Toluid civil war, he soon turned against him, seized Transoxiana and Khwarazm and took control of their revenues. His reign made the Chagatai Khanate a largely independent power rather than a subordinate domain of the Mongol Empire.
