Yalangtush Bahadur
Yalangtush Bahadur was an Uzbek emir of the Alchin tribe who governed Samarkand for the Ashtarkhanid khans of Bukhara in the first half of the seventeenth century. A leading military commander of the khanate, he is said to have helped the Kazakh khan Jahangir against the Dzungars in 1643. He built the Sher-Dor and Tilya-Kori madrasas, which with the older Ulugh Beg madrasa frame the Registan in Samarkand.
