Tulabugha
The Khan Tulabugha or Töle-Buqa Chan ((also Telebogha , Tatar Tülä-Buğa ) etc .; † 1291 ) ruled the Golden Horde between 1287 and his assassination in 1291.
The nephew and successor Möngke Timur and Tuda Möngke was an enemy of Prince Noqai . This enmity probably arose when the two had clashed over questions of the Russian administration (von Kursk, around 1283). Since Noqai was not a descendant of Batu Khan , he could never claim the highest dignity. So Tulabugha became the new Khan after Tuda Möngke's abdication in 1287 , without Noqai being able to prevent this. Tulabugha started a war against the Ilkhan Arghun , which his uncle had decided. But both campaigns failed in 1288 and 1290, so that Noqai's reputation rose and he was able to organize a coup with the help of Möngke Timur's sons. Tulabugha was captured and murdered during negotiations. The new Khan became his killer Tohtu (Tokta Khan).
