Reign[edit]
Hussein was still a child when he was raised to the throne byJalayiridHasan Buzurgand given the regnal name Muhammad Khan. This was done in opposition to his third cousin once removed,Musa.[1]In a battle that took place on July 26, 1336, Hasan Buzurg and Muhammad Khan defeated the forces of 'Ali Padshah and his puppet, Ilkhan,Musa.Hasan Buzurg then installed his claimant inTabriz.[3]Jalal ad-Din Zakariyya (or Shams al-Din[4]) and late Mahmudshah Inju's son Masudshah were appointed as his viziers while Hasan's supporters reaffirmed their positions. Chupanid Sorgan and his motherSati BeggainedKarabakh,Hajji Taghay reaffirmed inDiyar Bakr,Hajji Tughanak acquired Baghdad, Musa's would be killer, Emir Qara Hasan granted overlordship overOirattribes. However Qara Hasan and Hajji Tughanak couldn't manage to subjugate them and were utterly defeated, latter being killed.[2]Remaining Oirats regrouped under Governor ofKhorasan,Shaikh Ali (son of Emir Ali Quschi) and supportedTogha Temürfor Ilkhanid throne. They were further aided by Ögrünch and Mahmud Esen Qutlugh and even occupiedSoltaniyehfor a while. However they were eventually defeated by Jalayirid army, Ali Padshah's brother Muhammed beg and his wife Qutlugh Malik Khatun (daughter ofGaykhatu) were killed by Kurdish tribesmen, while Oirat leader Shaikh Ali was executed by Arghunshah (son ofEmir Nawruz), who wantedTogha Temürto be his own puppet.[2]Ögrünch and Mahmud Esen Qutlugh were too eliminated.
Over the next few years, Hasan Buzurg and Muhammad strengthened their hold over westernPersia,but the appearance of theChupanidHasan Kucekinterrupted their plans.[5]Hasan Kucek claimed a Turkish slave of his father's deputy was in fact, his fatherTimurtashand arrived from Egypt. This news caused Chupanids to split off from Jalayirids and join Hasan Kucek. The two opposing sides then met in the Ala Tagh area nearVanon July 16, 1338, with both Hasan Buzurg and Muhammad Khan suffering defeat.[5]After Hasan Buzurg fled, Muhammad Khan was captured by the Chupanids and executed.[5]
