Changshi
Changshi was one of last effective khans (r.1335-1338[1]) of Chagatai Khanate. His father was prince Ebugen who was the son of Duwa, the Chagatai Khan.
Western sources claimed that he was anti-muslim and quite tolerant towards Christians. Before his succession, Changshi sent Yuan khaan Tugh Temur 170 russian prisoners, however, he was probably nestorian. He was given a pecuniary reward from the court of Yuan Dynasty. He overthrew muslim princes from the power of the ulus in 1334-1335. But he was murdered by his family in 1338 after a short period of his reign.
