Moğol ümerâsından Sübüktâ’nın oğludur ve Gümüşlüzâde İsmâîl Bey’in eniştesidir. Eyâlet-i Rûmiyye nâzırı ve Amasya emîrü’l-ümerâsı İşboğa Noyîn’in dâmâdı olup emîr-i müşârün-ileyhin zamân-ı emâretinde Amasya cândârı, ya’nî muhâfızı oldu.
720 senesi evâilinde kayınpederinin vefâtında Sivas Vâlîsi Emîr Çobanoğlu Timurtaş Bey’e intisâb edib [354] mevki’ini muhâfaza etdi. 727’de azl ve nekbete uğradı. Ba’dehû vefât etdi. Ümerâdan idi. BunaUğur Cândâr da denirdi. Mahdûmu Mûsâ Bey’dir.
He was the son of Sübüktâ, one of the Mongol emirs, and the brother-in-law of Gümüşlüzâde İsmâîl Bey. As son-in-law of İşboğa Noyîn, overseer (nâzır) of the Province of Rum and chief emir of Amasya, he became cândâr of Amasya, that is, its guardian, during that emir's term of office.
At the beginning of the year 720 [1320], when his father-in-law died, he attached himself to Emir Çobanoğlu Timurtaş Bey, Governor of Sivas, and kept his post. In 727 [1326-27] he was dismissed and fell into disaster. Afterwards he died. He was one of the emirs. He was also called Uğur Cândâr. His son is Mûsâ Bey.
The Timurtaş named in the entry is the son of Emir Çoban, an influential statesman of the Ilkhanids. The ruler Abu Said Bahadur Khan appointed him to the governorship of Anatolia. When his father Emir Çoban was killed in 1327, Timurtaş, fearing Abu Said, went to Egypt to take refuge with the Mamluk sultan, leaving his brother-in-law Alâeddin Eretna in his place. Hüsameddin's "dismissal and misfortune" in 727 falls in the same year as this event. The sources write the name sometimes as Demirtaş and sometimes as Timurtaş; they appear to be the same person (an inference). Hüsameddin calls Timurtaş Governor of Sivas; the encyclopedia entry presents him as governor of Anatolia and lists Sivas among the places later administered by Eretna.
The Ilkhanid government ruled Anatolia through governors and noyans. In this order Amasya was a city where a Seljuk line also lived: it is written that Taceddin Altunbaş, son of Sultan Gıyaseddin Mesud II, held power for a time in Amasya, and that Altunbaş's descendants lived around Amasya. No information was found in other sources on the identity of İşboğa Noyîn, whom Uğur Bay served, nor of Gümüşlüzâde İsmâîl Bey or Sübüktâ.
