Mansur Mirza, or Ghiyas ud-din Mansur Mirza (died 1445-46), was a Timurid prince, and a son of Bayqara Mirza I. He was the father of the famous late-Timurid sultan of Herat Sultan Husayn Bayqara (1469-1506).[1]
Mansur Mirza was a great-grandson of the Central Asian conqueror Timur. Mansur Mirza's wife Firuza was the daughter of Sultan Husayn of the powerful Tayichiud tribe.[2] Firuza was also herself a great-granddaughter of Timur twice over. Mansur Mirza and Firuza were also descendants of the Mongol Emperor, Genghis Khan.[3]
