Teguder was at the head of a Chagatai contingent that accompanied Hulagu to Iran. He was given a fief in
Georgia. In the winter of 1267–68, Teguder accompanied the emissaries of his relative,
Baraq, the ruler of the
Chagatai Khanate, to Abaqa, the Ilkhan of Iran. With a conflict between Baraq and Abaqa brewing in the east, Teguder attempted to make his way into the Chagatai khanate by way of the pass of
Darband, which he found barred and returned to Georgia. The Ilkhan sent the
noyan Shiramun, son of
Chormaqan, in his pursuit. He was then given shelter by the Georgian king
David Narin of
Imereti, from where his men ravaged the territories of Georgian nobles loyal to Abaqa. The Ilkhan eventually persuaded David to withdraw his support to the fugitive prince. Defeated once more by Shiramun, Teguder surrendered in late 1269. He was imprisoned for a year on an island in
Lake Urmia and then pardoned and released after Abaqa's victory over Baraq. == References ==
