**Taliqu** (also known as **Naliqo'a**) was [[Khan (title)|Khan]] of the [[Chagatai Khanate]] from 1308 to 1309. He was the son of Qadaqchi and a [[Qutlugh-Khanid]] princess of [[Kerman]],[^1] and a grandson of [[Büri]]. Following the death of [[Könchek]], Taliqu seized power and became Khan. As a [[Muslim]], he attempted to convert his subjects to [[Islam]]; this move was unpopular. This, combined with resentment that he was not a descendant of [[Duwa]], led to a revolt against his rule. His enemies selected Duwa's son [[Kebek]] to become Khan, and defeated Taliqu in battle in 1309. His supporters joined the forces of Kebek, and were instrumental in defeating the sons of [[Kaidu]] that same year.[^2]
