Jahan Temür was aJalayirid puppet for the throne of theIlkhanate from 1339 to 1340.[1]
He was son of Alafrang and the grandson ofGaykhatu and Jalayirid Dondi Khatun. His family had fallen out favor afterGhazan's ascension to the throne. His brother-in-law Eljigidei was executed by Ghazan in 1295,[2] his father Alafrang was murdered on 30 May 1304 during the reign ofÖljaitü.[3] He must have been an elderly person[opinion] when JalayiridHasan Buzurg raised him to the throne in 1339 nearHamadan.[4] His rule was acknowledged fromBasra toSamsun.
Hasan Buzurg and Jahan Temür Khan met theChobanids underHasan Kucek in battle on 21 June 1340 near the Jaghatu plains; the Jalayirids were defeated. Following this, Hasan Buzurg returned toBaghdad and deposed Jahan Temür. While Hasan Buzurg would recognize Togha Temur as his suzerain again for a time, Jahan Temür was his last puppet Ilkhan, and the Jalayirid (Ilkhan) dynasty of Baghdad came to rule in its own right. The fate of Jahan Temür himself is not recorded.
