Salghurid ruler of Fārs (1263-84), daughter of Atābeg Saʿd II. http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/abes-katun-salghurid-ruler-of...

While still a child (in Rabīʿ I, 663/December, 1264), she succeeded her cousin Salǰuqšāh b. Salḡūr, whom the Mongols had driven away. Ca. 671/1272 she married the Mongol prince Möngke Temūr (Mangū Tīmūr; d. Moḥarram, 681/April, 1282), fourth son of the Il-khan Hülegu (Hūlāgū), who ruled Fārs in her name from then on. Ābeš Ḵātūn’s name, however, was mentioned in the ḵoṭba and on coins; she also had the right to a court chapel. The true administration of the country lay in the hands of the Mongol governor Suḡunǰaq (Sūnǰāq)

• From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abish Khatun (died 1287) also known as Abisha Hadud Khatun and Aubee Khatton was the regnant of Atabeg from 1263 to 1275. She was also the governor of Fars from 1283 to 1287.

Biography

Abish Khatun was nominated as ruler by the Ilkhan of the Khwarazham Empire in Persia, after her mother, Terken Khatun, was killed. Her name was read in the khutha and struck on the coinage. In 1274, when she was about fifteen, she was taken to the Ilkhan's ordu, and married to Tash-Möngke (Mengü Temür), a younger son of Hulagu Khan. This was a marriage, forbidden in Islamic law, between a Muslim woman and a shamanist, but presumably the will of the Ilkhan transcended all other considerations. She became his chief wife and had two daughters by him, Kürdüjin and Alghanchi. When her husband was sent as governor to Fars, she was retained in the ordu, but 1283, the new Ilkhan, Ahmad Tegüder (1282-84), recalled him from Shiraz and appointed her in his place. Her financial recklessness, coinciding with a drought throughout Fars, meant that she defaulted on her revenue payments, so that Ahmad Tegüder's successor, Arghun (1284-91), ordered her to appear at the ordu. Perhaps relying on the good offices of Öljei Khatun, Hülegü's widow, to protect her from the Ilkhan's wrath, she declined to go and behaved outrageously toward the officials sent to supersede her. She was eventually forced to capitulate and submitted to the Ilkhan (Öljei Khatun did indeed intercede for her), dying at the ordu in 1287, after having lived (circa 1269-87).[1]

ĀBEŠ ḴĀTŪN, Salghurid ruler of Fārs (663-85/1263-84), daughter of Atābeg Saʿd II. While still a child (in Rabīʿ I, 663/December, 1264), she succeeded her cousin Salǰuqšāh b. Salḡūr, whom the Mongols had driven away. Ca. 671/1272 she married the Mongol prince Möngke Temūr (Mangū Tīmūr; d. Moḥarram, 681/April, 1282), fourth son of the Il-khan Hülegu (Hūlāgū), who ruled Fārs in her name from then on.

Ābeš Ḵātūn’s name, however, was mentioned in the ḵoṭba and on coins; she also had the right to a court chapel. The true administration of the country lay in the hands of the Mongol governor Suḡunǰaq (Sūnǰāq) Noyon and his basqaqs (tax officials), who are often mentioned in this period.

In Ramażān, 683/late 1284, efforts were made in Fārs towards separation from the Il-kans, and Ābeš Ḵātūn apparently was involved. For this reason she was interned by the Mongol general Boḡā, who later led his own revolt against the Il-khans but was captured and executed in January, 1289.

Ābeš Ḵātūn was imprisoned and fined. She died, only twenty-six years old, in 685/1286-87 and was buried in Tabrīz.
