History

In 1598, Abdullah Khan II from the Shaybanid dynasty, who had rule the Khanate of Bukhara since 1583, died. [1]

After his death, the throne passed to his only son Abd al-Mumin, but he was soon killed by rebels. [2] As the son of Abd al-Mumin was only two years old, the first cousin of Abdullah Khan II, Pir Muhammad II, was chosen as new Khan. [3] This appointment was contested by several other rulers, like Tauekel Khan of the Kazakhs, Kasim Sultan and Baqi Muhammad, whose mother was Abdullah Khan's sister and whose father a prince from Astrakhan named Jani Muhammed Beg.

Baqi Muhammad was victorious and Pir Muhammad II was killed in battle. [4] With his death, the Shaybanid dynasty ended, and Baqi Muhammad became the first Khan of the Janid or Ashtarkhanid dynasty.

The name Janid, comes from his father Jani Muhammed Beg. He was the son of Prince Yar Muhammed, who was a member of the Tuqay-Timurid who had ruled the Astrakhan Khanate, until they were chased by the Russians in 1555. [5]

The Janid dynasty ruled the Bukhara Khanate from 1599 to 1785.
In 1740, Bukhara was conquered by Persia, but Abu al-Fayz Khan remained on the throne. The real power was in the hands of Ataliq Muhammad Rahim, who even had the Khan killed in 1747. The successors of the Khan were all puppets in the hands of their Ataliqs.This situation ended when the new Ataliq Shah Murad deposed Khan Abu'l Ghazi, pronounced himself Emir of Bukhara and created his own Manghud dynasty.
