Sultan Satuq Bughra Khan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 934, the Uyghur king, Satuk Boghra Khan, converted to Islam. Many fellow Uyghurs followed, though conversion was not forced, and some (particularly the Yugurs) retained their existing religious beliefs. The Uyghurs ruled an independent kingdom, mixing Muslim and Buddhist populations, that stood until 1759, when the Manchu Chinese invaded and destroyed it.
