authority. In 885 H. (1480) he was expelled by his nephew and stepson, Abá Bakr.
Abá Bakr Mirza, son of Sániz, reigned in all forty-eight years. The years of his reign are probably reckoned from the date of his taking possession of Yarkand, about 873 H. (1468–9). He was finally defeated and expelled by Sultan Said Khan, the third son of Sultan Ahmad Khan (Alácha Khan), who changed the dynasty. See Khans of Moghulistan, above. Abá Bakr was murdered 920 H.
It may perhaps help to make matters clear as regards the dates, if I append here, a list of the western branch of the line of Chaghatai Khans (those of Mavará-un-Nahr or Transoxiana), extracted from Mr. Stanley Lane Poole's Muhammadan Dynasties (p. 242),
