Who was Geyhatu Khan?
Geyhatu Khan was in Iran from 1291 to 1295 the 5th ruler of the −lhanlı dynasty (founded in 1256 by Hulagu Han in Azerbaijan). The word "Geyhatu" comes in the Mongol word "Gaikhakh," meaning "to be shocked." He had the son of Abaka Khan, grandson of the Ilkhanid Family, Cengiz Khan. Hulagu Khan had Abaka Khan's uncle. The Mongolian army, Geyhatu Khan, succeeded in achieving King's position in 1291.
He appointed him as head of the Anatolian government under the Mongols in 1284, when his brother Argun Khan became the successor of Abaka Khan. He forced the principalities to pay a high tax after he arrived at Aksaray in 1286, CE. He suppressed the Larende and Karaman uprising against Anatolia in 1288 CE. He got the news about Argun Khan's death as he was in Antalya. When he was in Ahlat and arrived in Azerbaijan, he had been informed of Argun Khan's death.
He went there and attacked them after having got the news of the Turkmen Uprising in Anatolia. He appointed Śiktur Noyan as Anatolian governor.
He fled to Konya and settled in Azerbaijan after he had successfully conquered the revolution. Geyhatu Khan arrived in Aladağ on 29 May 1292 CE.
During his period there was a persistent rivalry with the Mamluk dynasty. As a result of the threat of Geyhatu to permit him to live in Aleppo in 1292, Egyptian Mamluk Sultan Al-Ashraf Khalil was. But, though threatening to conquer Baghdad, Al-Ashraf Khalil responded. Yet they did not go into open war with all of them.
It was due to the deteriorating financial conditions in the region, which continued to rise negatively during Geyhatu Khan's period, because of the infectious diseases and älhanlı-Mamluk wars.
In 1294 CE, Khan, in his recommendation of the Vizier Ahmed Al-Khalidi, banned trade in silver or gilded coins and introduced Jiaochao (paper money). Kublai Khan's ambassador to Tabriz was named by Geyhatu Khan. Bolad Ambassador told him about the operation of the system and then approved banknotes printing. He also kept local concerns seriously and made a note of the Muslim confession of faith.
However, the real task was not simply to manage the treasury and use only paper currency. But the merchants declined to take such notes. It was not feasible. The use of paper money for market riots must have stopped by Geyhatu Khan.
This shows that he was tolerant of Muslims. Unlike Argun Khan, sheikhs and scholars respected him. Mongolian leaders were encouraged, while helping his nephew, the Baydu, to fight against him.
