Abu 'I-Fath Muhammad Shaybani Khan (c. 1451 – 1510 ), Khan of Uzbeks from 1500 until 1510. He is a descendant of Genghis Khan through his ancestor Shayban, a son of Jochi . Shayban converted the Shaybanid Horde to Islam in 1282 , and his horde becomes known as the Uzbeks. By 1500 Muhammad Shaybani was master of Samarkand . He fought successful campaigns against Babur , founder of the Mogul Empire . In 1505 he again captured Samarkand and in 1507 also took Herat . In 1510 , Shah Isma'il I , ruler of the Safavid Dynasty , moved against Uzbeks. In the Battle Of Marv he defeated Muhammad Shaybani, and he was killed trying to escape, and Shah Ismail had his body parts sent to various areas of the empire for display and had his skull coated in gold and made into a jeweled drinking goblet which was drank from when entertaining. In time of his death all the lands between rivers Syr Darya and Amu Darya were in Uzbek hands. He conquered Bukhara in 1506 and established the Shaybanid Empire . The Shaybanid Khans later ended at Bukhara in 1598 and at Khwarizm (later named Khiva ) in 1687 . EXTERNAL LINKS |
