Jahangir Aq Qoyunlu Explained

Jahangir (Azerbaijani and fa|جهانگیر) was the uncontested leader of the Aq Qoyunlu from 1444 to 1454, but afterwards fell into a dynastic struggle with his younger brother Uzun Hasan, who by 1457 had defeated him and assumed full power over the confederation. Jahangir later died in 1469.
