Yunas Khan himself was made to go towards 'Iraq; one year he spent in Tabriz where Jahan Shah Barani of the Black Sheep Turkmans was ruling. From Tabriz he went to Shiraz where was Shahrukh Mirza's second son, Ibrahim Sultan Mirza.2 He having died five or six months later (Shawwal 4, 838 AH. -May 3rd, 1435 AD.), his son, 'Abdu'l-lah Mirza sat in his place. Of this 'Abdu'1-lah Mirza Yunas Khan became a retainer and to him used to pay his respects. The Khan was in those parts for 17 or 18 years.

4 An omission from his Persian source misled Mr. Erskine here into making Abu-sa'id celebrate the Khanim's marriage, not with himself but with his defeated foe, 'Abdu'l-'aziz who had married her 28 years earlier.
