Emir Taraghay
Barlas
(–1360)
Biographical
Taraghay was the head of the tribe of Barlas
clan which claimed
descent from Qarachar Noyan Barlas, one of the many emirs assigned by
Genghis Khan to Chaghadai.
Distinguished
among his fellow-clansmen as the first convert to Islamism, Taraghay might
have assumed the high military rank which fell to him by right of inheritance;
but like his father Burkul he preferred a life of retirement and study.
