Baysonqor

Gīāṭ al-dīn Bāysonḡor, commonly known as Baysonqor or Baysunghur or (incorrectly[1]) as Baysunqar, also called Sultan Bāyson­ḡor Bahādor Khan (1397, Herat - 1433, the Bāḡ-e Safīd palace near Herat) was a prince from the house of Timurids. He was known as a patron of arts and architecture, as well as a prominent calligrapher.[2]

Bāyson­ḡor was a son of Mirza Shahrukh, the ruler of Persia and Transoxania, and Shakhrukh's most prominent wife Goharshad.[2]

In the view of modern historians, Bāyson­ḡor was actually a better statesman than his more famous elder brother, Ulugh Beg, who inherited Shhrukh's throne.[2]
