Qutb al-Din Mohammad — was Qutlughanid ruler of Kerman and a nephew of Buraq Hajib, founder of dynasty.
He was a son of Hamīd Pur (or Khan Temür),[1] thus a nephew of Buraq Hajib. His father was an emir in service of Khwarazmshah dynasty, who served as commander of Bukhara in c. 1220.
First reign and exile
He succeeded his uncle Buraq Hajib in 1235 and married Kutlugh Turkan on 5 September 1235. However, his reign was very short as he was quickly replaced by his cousin Rukn al-Din on the order of Ögedei Khan. He left for Mongolia through Shahdad-Zozan route and was ordered to join Mahmud Yalavach in China as soon as he arrived.[2] He was present at Güyük Khan's election in 1246, from whom he asked to be recognized as ruler of Kirman once again. However, this was discouraged by Güyük's trusted advisor Chinqai who was a tutor to Rukn al-Din previously.
