Kutlugh Turkan

According to "History of Qara-Khitai Shahs" (Tāriḵ-e šāhi-e Qarāḵtāʾiān) by anonymous author, she might have been born in Transoxiana between 1208 and 1213 and later sold as a slave to an Isfahani merchant, who adopter her and raised with excellent education.

[1] While other sources talk of her as a concubine to Qiyasaddin Pirshah (son of Muhammad II of Khwarazm), then of Buraq Hajib.

However they were sent to Ögedei's court when Buraq Hajib's son Rukn al-Din Mubarak Khawja (d. 1252) was recognized as the new ruler of Kirman.

She soon "complained to her daughter Padishah Khatun and received a yarligh forbidding her stepson to meddle in the affairs of Kirman".

She was involved in construction of various public projects such as fortresses (1279), madrasas, hospitals, mosques, qanats and at least 16 charitable organizations.

In 1282, however, new Ilkhan Ahmad Tekuder confirmed Suyurghatamish on the throne of Kirman under influence of her mother Qutui Khatun.
