Uzbekistan: Muhammad Shaybani, Khan of the Uzbeks (1500-1510). Portrait by Kamal ud-Din Behzad (1450-1535), c. 1507. Abul-Fath Muhammad, known in later centuries as Shaybani Khan (c. 1451 – 2 December 1510), was a khan of the Uzbeks (from 1500) who continued consolidating various Uzbek tribes and laid foundations for their ascendance in Transoxiana. He was a descendant of Genghis Khan through his grandson Shayban and considered the Timurids as usurpers of the Genghisid heritage in Central Asia. His native Turkic name was Shibagh ('wormwood' or 'obsidian').
