Duwa Temür(Дуватөмөр) orTore Temur(Төртөмөр) wasKhanof theChagatai Khanatefor a period in 1329/1330. He was the son ofDuwa.
He surrendered to the forces of theYuan dynastyin 1313 whenEsen Buqa Irevolted against Yuan emperorAyurbarwadawhom he had paid tributes before. Duwa Temür became khan by overthrowing his brotherEljigidey.Some Muslim sources claim that he himself was removed by power by another brother,Tarmashirin,who then took control of the Chagatai Khanate after only a short period of time. But it is known that he was still the ruler of the Chagatayids in 1330 from theYuanshiand someEuropeansources. Because Tarmashirin wrote in his letter that he enthroned as Chagatai Khan in 1330 to theYuan dynastyand the map published in China in around 1330 also shows the Chagatai Khanate as the Ulus of Duwa Temur.
During his reign, Yuan emperorTugh Temur(1328 - 1329 and 1329 - 1332) took a third of revenues fromKhivaand Khot in the Chagatai Khanate.
