Revision as of 10:16, 17 November 2006 by Karcha (talk | contribs) (Encyclopedias are reliable sources...)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Jalayirids were a Mongol descendant dynasty which ruled over Iraq and Azerbaijan after the breakup of the Ilkhanate in the 1330s.
The Jalayirid sultanate lasted about fifty years, until disrupted by Timur's conquests and the revolts of the "Black Sheep Turks" or Kara Koyunlu. After Timur's death in 1405, there was a brief unsuccessful attempt to re-establish the Jalayirid sultanate.
A subsidiary line of Jalayirids maintained itself as vassals of the Timurids in lower Iraq until it was conquered by the Kara Koyunlu in 1432.
