Temür Malik (Kypchak: تمور ملک), also spelled Timur-Malik (Turki and Persian: تیمور ملک), the son of Urus Khan,[1] was the ninth Khan of the White Horde. Early during his reign, he successfully invaded the lands of his cousin Toqtamysh. However, Toqtamysh later managed to trap and kill Timur-Malik near Qara-Tal (on the shore of the Aral Sea), and succeeded him.[1]
