About Tandura Khatun - daughter of Sheikh Hossein ibn Uwais and wife of Shah Ould (r.1410-141)

They blinded and imprisoned Mobārez-al-Din Ramażān (760/1359) at Ṭabarak fortress, and divided the realm among themselves (Kotobi, p. 59, new ed., pp. 77-80; Ḥāfeẓ-e Abru, 1996-99, II, pp. 219-20; idem, 2001, I, pp. 309-12; Ḵᵛāndamir, III, p. 292-94; Šabānkāraʾi, pp. 318-19; Jaʿfari, p. 53).

[... With the head of the family gone, conflict arose among the different branches of the Mozaffarid house, particularly between the brothers Shah Šojāʿ and Shah Maḥmud. In the period between 760/1359 and 776/1374, the Jalayerids served as valuable allies to Shah Maḥmud, helping him capture Shiraz from his brother in 765/1363-64 (Kotobi, new ed., pp. 86-90; Ḥāfeẓ-e Abru, 1939, new ed., p. 243; idem, 2001, I, pp. 357 ff., 372 ff.). Shah Maḥmud acknowledged Jalayerid supremacy by striking coins in the name of Sultan Shaikh Oways in Shiraz 766/1364-65 (Soudavar, p. 45). However, the notables of Shiraz invited Shah Šojāʿ back in 767/1366 (Kotobi, p. 81; Ḥāfeẓ-e Abru, 2001, I, pp. 382-83), demonstrating the importance of support from the urban elite, particularly in Shiraz and Isfahan, for the success of any Mozaffarid prince (for the role of the Iranian urban elite in the Timurid period, see Manz, 2007, pp. 117-19). Shah Šojāʿ’s return to Shiraz was the occasion for his composition of a maṯnawi, Ruḥ al-ʿāšeqin, in which the fraternal conflict is presented in the style of a quarrel between two lovers (Arberry, 1962, pp. 28-30). Shah Maḥmud appealed to Shaikh Oways again in 770/1368-69, this time in a request to marry his daughter. The marriage ensured Shah Maḥmud important Jalayerid military support to use against Shah Šojāʿ] [The conflict between the brothers only ended in 776/1375, with the death of Shah Maḥmud, just a few months after the death of Shaikh Oways (Kotobi, p. 91; new ed., p. 103; Ḥāfeẓ-e Abru, 1939, new ed., p. 247; idem, 2001, I, pp. 490-91). Shah Šojāʿ took advantage of this opportunity to invade Azerbaijan and conquer Tabriz. Yet, like his father, Shah Šojāʿ’s stay in Tabriz was short-lived. His army had dispersed after the conquest, and he was unable to mount a defense against the oncoming army of Solṭān Ḥosayn Jalāyer. He returned to Isfahan after just a few months (Kotobi, pp. 92-93; new ed., pp. 103-5; Ḥāfeẓ-e Abru, 1939, p. 200, new ed., pp. 246-50; idem, 2001, I, pp. 503-11).

The Mozaffarids after Shah Šojāʿ. Prior to his death in 786/1384, Shah Šojāʿ designated his son, Zayn-al-ʿĀbedin, to succeed him in Shiraz.]
