Buyruk Khan

d. 1206 · 12th century

Buyruk Khan was a son of the Naiman ruler Inanch Bilge Khan, who after his father's death in the 1190s ruled part of the Naiman khanate in the Altai mountains while his brother Tayang Khan ruled the rest. The brothers' rivalry weakened the Naiman against Temüjin, the future Genghis Khan, and Buyruk was killed by Mongol forces in 1206.
