List of rulers of Qara Qoyunlu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

”Al-i Qara Qoyunlu” and “Qara Yusifiyyān”[1][2](Azerbaijani: Al-i Qara Qoyunlu or Qara Yusifiyyan آلِ قَرَا قَوْیونلو قَرَا یوسِفِیّان)[3] The ruling family of the Qara Qoyunlu descended from the Yıwa tribe of the Oghuz Turks, specifically, the Baharlu tribe.[4] that ruled over the territory comprising present-day Azerbaijan, Armenia, northwestern Iran, eastern Turkey, and northeastern Iraq from about 1374 to 1468. At the same time, they strengthened the Turkic identity of the region by giving Azerbaijan and the Fars region a Turkic identity linguistically and ethnically.[5][6][7]

Titles

The Qara Qoyunlu dynasty usually introduced itself in official and written sources as "Baharlu tribe", "Qara Qoyunlu people" or "Turcoman". They were from the Baharlu tribe, which belonged to the Yiva tribe of the Oghuz, and they emphasized this affiliation.[8]

The Qara Qoyunlu rulers often referred to themselves with titles such as "sahibqıran", "sultan", "emir" or "hökmdar-ı Türkmen" (King of Turcoman) and especially tried to emphasize their Turcoman identity. For example, the ruler Qara Yusif and his son Sultan Jahan shah openly expressed their attachment to Turkism in their poems and documents.[9][10]

Additionally, in 15th-century sources they were also referred to as "Turcoman beys", "rulers of the Turcoman people". These expressions reflect both their ethnic affiliation and the state structure based on tribal confederation.
