Overview

Shaykh Haydar, a son of Abu'l-Khayr, held the khan title for only a few years. Rival Chinggisid princes and the Nogai beys took the chance of Abu'l-Khayr's death to break up his khanate.

Rise to Power

He succeeded his father in 1468.

Rule and Achievements

  • Faced the Kazakh sultans in the south and the Shibanid prince Ibak of Tyumen in the north

Legacy

He was killed around 1471 by Ibak and his Nogai allies, and the Uzbek Khanate fell apart. Abu'l-Khayr's grandsons Muhammad Shaybani and Mahmud Sultan, sons of Shah Budagh, grew up as refugees and later rebuilt Uzbek power.
