Qonqurtai

Qonqurtai (Persian: قونقورتاى) was a Mongol prince and viceroy of Anatolia for the Ilkhanate khanate.

Qonqurtai was born to Hulagu Khan and Ajuja Aguchi, his Khitan concubine wife.

Qonqurtai was appointed as commander of Ilkhanid army in Anatolia with Shams al-Din Juvayni as his vizier after the Battle of Elbistan in 1277 to support the Sultanate of Rum against revolting Turcomans.

Qonqurtai was summoned to Karabakh, accused of conspiracy and was arrested by Tegüder's son-in-law, Alinaq - the viceroy of Georgia on 17 January 1284, and was executed next day by breaking his neck.

He was described as a wise ruler in Zafarnamah by Hamdullah Mustawfi,[5] while Qalawun considered him as a not only dishonorable, but also a cruel man.
