Ghazan II () was the last nominal ruler of the Ilkhanate.
Life
His existence is known through works of medieval authors and numismatics, but otherwise is unattested in history. He appears to have been a puppet of
Malek Ashraf in 1356. According to Abū Bakr al-Qutbī al-Ahrī, author of
Tarikh-i Uways, when
Jani Beg demanded Malek Ashraf to submit in 1357, he replied: "He is the
padishah of the ulus of
Berke, he has nothing to do with the ulus of
Abaqa, for here the ruler is Ghazan and the
emirate is mine."
He was mentioned by Nur al-Din Azhdari in his
Ghazan-nama, whose father Shams al-Din Muhammad served Ghazan II.
His coins have been minted in Mardin (1356),
