Heshana Khagan

Heshana Khagan (r. 610–617, died 619), was the second Khagan and third ruler of the Western Turkic Khaganate. He was the son of Niri Qaghan. About 605 rebels drove him from Dzungaria to the Ili River area. He as defeated by Sheguy and fled east to Karakoja (Gaochang) and a year later to Chang'an.[1] By 619, he was no longer in control of his khaganate and was at Chang'an, the capital of China's Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Gaozu of Tang, giving in to Eastern Turk pressure, had him delivered to Eastern Turk emissaries to be executed.
