Dilmaçoğulları Beyliği

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dilmaçoğulları (also Dimlaçoğlu or Demleçoğlu) were an Anatolian Beylik .

In 1085, the Seljuk Sultan Malik Shah I awarded his follower Dilmaçoğlu Mehmed Bey Bitlis as Iqta . Later yet ores (Today Yanarsu in the province of Siirt added).

Mehmed's successor, Toğan Arslan, was like his father initially under the suzerainty of the Rumeljuks , but then became a vassal of the Ahlachahs . After a short period of independence, the Beylik was then a vassal state of the Ortoqids , with whom the Georgians and crusaders were fought.

In 1137 a son of Toğan Arslan with the name Kurdi followed as ruler of the Dilmaçoğulları. He captured the city of Dvin . After the death of Kurdi in 1143, the rule of the Dilmaçoğulları experienced a decline. In 1144 they became vassals of the Zengids . In 1162 Dvin was lost again. Alliances with the Saltukids and Shaddadids and disputes with the Georgians and Ayyubids shaped this period.

From 1192 they only ruled over the city of Erzen and its surroundings. From 1229 they were under the sovereignty of the Khorezm-Shah Jalal ad-Din . After the conquest of Anatolia by the Mongols, they were dependent on them. At the end of the 14th century, the last remaining part of the Beylik in the Aq Qoyunlureich went up.
