This article analyzes the process by which Ubaidullakhan (1486–1539) — a significant figure in the sixteenth-century history of Central Asia — rose to the political stage. The study examines Ubaidullakhan's genealogical position within the Shaybanid dynasty, his political formation during childhood and youth, the administrative experience he accumulated through governing the province of Bukhara, and his path to supreme power in 1533. Drawing on historical sources, the article underscores the role of military experience, religious and spiritual factors, and dynastic rivalry in Ubaidullakhan's attainment of political maturity.
