https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nawr%C5%ABz_(Mongol_emir) Nawrūz (Persian: نوروز‎; died 13 August 1297) was a son of governor Arghun Aqa, and was a powerful Oirat emir of the 13th century who played an important role in the politics of the Mongol Ilkhanate. He inherited his father's administrative job in Khorasan and was listed as emir and son-in-law of Abaqa in medieval chroniclers' works.[1] He supported Arghun against Teküder in 1284 and was rewarded by being atabeg of his 13-year-old son Ghazan and Prince Kingshü (son of Jumghur) as Ghazan's subordinate in Khorasan thanks to the new kingmaker Buqa. He held this powerful position of being the autonomous de facto ruler of Khorasan until Arghun Khan's arrest of Buqa. ... [Nawruz headed Ghazan's army against Chagatai khan Duwa's invasion of Khorasan in 1295. However the Ilkhanid prince Sogai (son of Yoshmut) refused to join the campaign in Khorasan, believing this was a plot of Nawruz to further deprive nobility of their possessions. Nawruz informed Ghazan of this plot and he subsequently executed him.[7] However, Nawruz soon embroiled himself in an argument with Nurin Aqa, who was more popular with the military and left Khorasan. After returning West, he survived an assassination attempt by a soldier named Tuqtay, who claimed that Nawruz murdered his own father, Arghun Aqa. Soon he was accused of treason by Sadr al-Din Khaladi, sahib-divan of Ghazan by forming a secret alliance with Mamlukes. Indeed, according to Mamluk sources, Nawruz corresponded with Sultan Lajin.[7]

Using this opportunity Ghazan started a purge against Nawruz and his followers in May 1297. His brother Hajji Narin and his follower Satalmish were executed along with Nawruz's children in Hamadan, his other brother Lagzi Güregen was also put to death in Iraq on 2 April 1297. His 12-year-old son Toghai was spared due to the efforts of Bulughan Khatun Khurasani, Ghazan's wife Arghun Aqa's granddaughter and given to the household of Amir Husayn. Others spared were his brother Yol Qutluq and his nephew Kuchluk.

Emir Qutluqshah was ordered to pursue Nawruz and kill him. Qutluqshah's armies defeated Nawruz near Jam and Nishapur. Following these defeats, Nawrūz took refuge at the court of the malik Fakhr al-Din of Herat, in northern Afghanistan, but the latter betrayed him and delivered him to Qutluqshah, who had him executed immediately on 13 August 1297,[10][11] along with his brothers Hajji and Bulquq. Nawruz's decapitated head was mutilated and hung on the gates of Baghdad.]...
