Tardush Shad (Chinese: 達頭设; pinyin: Dátóu Shè) — was a yabgu of Tokharistan. He was a son of Tong Yabgu Qaghan.[1]

Reign

In 618[2] or 625[1] Tong Yabgu invaded Tokharistan and forced Hephtalite principalities to submit.[2] According to Cefu Yuangui, these principalities were Zabulistan, Kapisa-Gandhara, Khuttal, Chaghaniyan, Shignan, Shuman, Badhgis, Wakhan, Guzgan, Bamiyan, Kobadiyan and Badakhshan, when Pantu Nili - a later yabgu of Tokharistan submitted to Tang.[3] He installed his son Tardu in Kunduz to rule over with title of Tokharistan Yabgu (Chinese: 吐火羅葉護; pinyin: Tǔhuǒluó Yèhù).

Family and death

He was married two times - both a daughter of Qu Boya (麴伯雅) - ruler of Qocho. When Xuanzang visited Kunduz, he also brought a letter from his brother-in-law and ruler of Qocho Qu Wentai (麴文泰) to Tardu. Yabgu received him despite being in ill condition. It was Tardu to advise him to make a trip westward to Balkh (modern Afghanistan), to see the Buddhist sites and relics. Xuanzang also witnessed a palace scandal when Tardu's firstborn son Ishbara Tegin fallen in love with his new step-mother (also aunt) and poisoned Tardu in 630.[4]

gollark: Not even being allowed to say *what* they can't share is especially weird, though that may not actually be the case here.
