Following the death of [[Könchek]], Taliqu seized power and became Khan. As a [[Muslim]], he attempted to convert his subjects to [[Islam]]; this move was unpopular. This, combined with resentment that he was not a descendant of [[Duwa]], led to a revolt against his rule. His enemies selected Duwa's son [[Kebek]] to become Khan, and defeated Taliqu in battle in 1309. His supporters joined the forces of Kebek, and were instrumental in defeating the sons of [[Kaidu]] that same year.<ref>{{cite book |last=Biran |first=Michal |chapter=Mongol Central Asia: The Chaghadaids and the Ogodeids |date=2023 |title=The Cambridge History of the Mongol Empire |editor-last1=Biran |editor-first1=Michal |editor-last2=Kim |editor-first2=Hodong |isbn=978-1-3163-3742-4 |location=Cambridge |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |pages=348–350}}</ref>
