Qurumushi
Qurumushi or Qurmushi was an Ilkhanate commander of Keraite origin who served as Mongol viceroy of Georgia.
He was from Tongqayit clan of Keraite tribe who migrated from Mongolia accompanying Hulagu's army. His grandfather Tügür was Hulagu's scribe, member of keshig and a commander, while his great-grandfather Quyidu served Genghis Khan and Ong Khan. His father Alinaq served Ahmad Tekuder as his commander-in-chief and was also his son-in-law. He had two brothers as well.
Qurumushi was a member of the force tasked by Tekuder with severing the connection between princes Arghun and Qonqurtay in 1284. He served as a messenger to Tekuder's father on 1 May 1284 when Tekuder asked Alinaq to prepare for fight against pro-Arghun forces. However, the latter prevailed and Alinaq was executed on 4 July 1284 by Arghun.
After his father's execution, Qurumushi inherited Alinaq's domains in modern Javakheti, his mingghan and his wife Kuchuk Khatun in levirate. He was tasked by Arghun with overseeing Vakhtang II of Georgia after Demetre II's execution in 1289.
Qurumushi changed sides frequently over rapid successions of Gaykhatu, Baydu and Ghazan and ended up choosing the victorious side. Qurumushi captured Baydu in Nakhchivan, 1295 after pursuing him with a 4,000-strong army. After the battle, a rebellious pro-Baydu emir Tuqal fled to David VIII of Georgia in 1295. The campaign came to an end when Beka I Jaqeli captured Tuqal and handed him over to Qurumushi.
Ghazan continued purging of rival princes and emirs later on and sent Qurumushi and Chupan against another Borjigid prince, Arslan who was captured by Ghazan previously and pardoned, revolted in Bilasuvar in 1296. After a series of battles near Baylaqan he too was captured and executed, along with the rebellious emirs on 29 March.
Around 1299 Ghazan became suspicious of the reports that David VIII and Toqta Khan of Golden Horde were preparing for an alliance. As a result, Ghazan ordered David VIII to arrive to his capital Tabriz. David refused to comply and Ghazan Khan responded with a punitive expedition under Qurumushi, Alinji and Shahinshah. Supported by the Mongols, Ossetes attacked Shida Kartli province and occupied the Liakhvi River gorge. David entrenched himself in the Mtiuleti mountains while Qurumushi installed George V as his successor.
Qurumushi was among the leading emirs in Mamluk-Ilkhanid War. He fought in Battle of Wadi al-Khaznadar as the commander of the 3rd contingent in right, after Ghazan himself, Elbasmish and Chichak noyans.
