Taken from 'Khiva Caught in Time'

Mohammed Amin led his troops, largely farmers, from Hazerasp against the Kazakh prince who quickly fled to Bukhara. He then attempted to take the throne. However, although Mohammed was of noble blood, he was not a direct descendent of Genghis Khan, and was therefore ineligible for Khanship. Not put off, he set about placing a puppet Khan on the throne and pronouncing himself 'Mohammed Amin Inaq'. Inaq means 'Khan's brother' or 'chieftain', and Mohammed effectively ruled as Khan. He consolidated his power with the intention of putting his son on the throne, regardless of Mongol bloodline. Although his rule was brief, he succeeded in his aims and founded the Kungrad dynasty who ruled until the 1920s.
