Sultan Khalil Mirza (Azerbaijani and Persian: سلطان خلیل میرزا) was a sultan of the Aq Qoyunlu State, ruling from 6 January 1478 to July 1478.[2]
Life
[edit]He was son of Uzun Hasan and Seljuk Shah Khatun. He was appointed as the governor of the Persian province during his princely years. He took power when his father, Uzun Hasan, passed away on January 6, 1478. In his early years, he had a fight with his brothers and uncle in the throne. He captured his younger half-brother Maqsud Beg (son of Despina Khatun) and executed him. His other younger full brothers Yaqub Beg and Yusuf Beg were exiled. In the same year, he defeated his uncle Murat Bey Bayandur and reached the height of his power. On the order of Sultan Yaqub, H. 14 Rebiül was executed (June 15, 1478) on a Monday. His half-brother Ughurlu Muhammad was taken by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and married his daughter Gevherhan Hatun. Their son Ahmad Beg finally took the throne but died in battle shortly after.
Family
[edit]It is known that he has two sons from an unknown woman.[citation needed]

Uzun Hasan had two sons, the elder of whom, Khalil, succeeded him. Khalil seems to have had a lively interest in fine books all his life, and one or two cases exist of volumes commissioned by him for his father. However, the only one surviving from his short reign is an exquisite little volume in the Chester Beatty Library (MS 401) containing a rare text in Azarbayjani Turkish of the Diwān of Hidayat. This contains four miniatures each depicting Khalil in some characteristic situation holding court in a garden, giving audience from his palace balcony, on a hawking expedition, and relaxing in a vinery. They are of superb execution, with typical Turkman figures, small, round-faced, and rather child-like, with turbans set high on their heads. But Khalil had been on the throne less than six months when he was attacked, defeated, and slain by the troops of his younger brother Yaqub Beg.
