Early Chobanids

The early Chobanids were members of the Soldus tribe. Sorgan Sira, one of the first important Chobanids, served Genghis Khan during the latter's rise to power. Later on, the Chobanids came to live under the authority of the Ilkhanate. A descendent of Sorgan Sira, Amir Tuda'un, was killed in 1277 fighting against the Mamelukes at the battle of Eblistan.

Coban and his Sons

Main article: Coban Amir Coban (also known as Choban or Chupan) (d. ...


During the early 1300s, Coban served under three successive Ilkhans, beginning with Ghazan. As a military commander, he quickly gained a degree of influence over the Ilkhans, and married several members of the line of Hulagu Khan. His power fueled resentment among the nobility, who attempted a conspiracy against him in 1319 but failed. The Ilkhan Abu Sa'id, however, also disliked Coban's influence, and successfully eliminated him from court. He fled in 1327 to Herat, where the Kartids executed him. His sons took flight, to the Golden Horde or the Mamelukes, or were killed as well.

Bagdad Katun

Main article: Bagdad Katun Bagdad Katun (d. ...


The Chobanids were not completely wiped out from Persia. A daughter of Coban's, Bagdad Katun, had captured the eye of Abu Sa'id. During Coban's lifetime, she had been married to Hasan Buzurg, the future founder of the Jalayirids, but after Coban fled Hasan Buzurg divorced her, and she married Abu Sa'id. She quickly gained influence over the Ilkhan, and was prone to exercising the wide powers given to her. She was alleged (but never proven) to have been involved in any conspiracies against the Ilkhan, but was believed by some to have caused Abu Sa'id's death in 1335. She was eventually executed by Abu Sa'id's successor Arpa Ke'un. Shaikh Hasan, called Buzurg (The Great), was the first of several de facto independent Jalayirid rulers of Iraq and central Iran. ...

Role During the Fall of the Ilkhnate, and Hasan Kucek

Main article: Hasan Kucek Hasan Kucek (c. ...


Arpa Ke'un's position proved to be weak; when a granddaughter of Coban's, Delsad Katun, fled to Diyarbakr, it caused the governor of that region to attack and defeat the Ilkhan. During the strife that occurred in the next few years, individual members of the Chobanids sided with various factions, such as Arpa or Hasan Buzurg. The latter ended up marrying Delsad Katun, who provided for the heirs to the Jalayirid position. Diyarbakir (Syriac: ܐܡܝܕ; Zazaki and Kurdish: Amed; Turkish spelling: Diyarbakır) is a city in Turkey, situated on the banks of the River Tigris. ...


While the Jalayirids were consolidating their position in Iraq, however, other Chobanids were also busy. Hasan Kucek, a grandson of Coban, rallied much of the Chobanid family to his side and defeated the Jalayirids in 1338, paving the way for a Chobanid realm in the area around Tabriz. That same year, he elevated Sati Beg, sister of Abu Sa'id and widow of Coban, to the Ilkhanid throne. To keep Sati Beg in check, he forced her to marry his puppet Suleiman Khan. Hasan Kucek continued to fight the Jalayirids (a fight which was further complicated by the incursions made by Togha Temur of Khurasan), but family infighting proved to be the most difficult challenge. Several members defected to the Jalayirids; in any case, Hasan Kucek was forced to deal with them up until his death in 1343.

Malek Asraf and Chobanid Decline

Main article: Malek Asraf Malek Asraf (d. ...


A power struggle quickly emerged after Hasan Kucek's death. During the dispute, Hasan Kucek's brother Malek Asraf gained the upper hand and eliminated his uncles. By the end of 1344, Malek Asraf had gained effective control of the Chobanid lands. Like his predecessor, Malek Asraf used puppet monarchs from behind which he ruled. During his reign, the Chobanids attempted to capture Baghdad from the Jalayirids in 1347 but failed miserably. He also failed to seize Fars from the Injuids in 1350. As his reign wore on, Malek Asraf became more and more cruel, prompting widespread dissatisfaction amongst his subjects. When forces of the Golden Horde overran the Chobanid realm and captured Tabriz in 1357, few lamented the loss of power by the Chobanids. Malek Asraf was executed, and his family brought north to the Golden Horde. Malek Asraf's offspring were eventually killed off in Persia, bringing a definitive end to the Chobanids as a power.

HOBANIDS (Chupanids, Pers (4281 words)
Although at first the Chobanids maintained the fiction that they were vassals of the ruling house of Hülegü (Hu@la@gu@), after the collapse of Il-khanid authority they became effectively independent rulers of the areas that they were able to seize.
It is possible to identify four different phases in the history of the Chobanids: the rise and fall of Ùoba@n, recovery and unity during the rise of H®asan(-e) Ku@±ek, fratricidal divisions once the family was in power, and the reign of Malek AÞraf and the end of Chobanid rule.
The main instrument in the revival of Chobanid fortunes after this major setback was the beautiful Bag@da@d K¨a@tu@n, whom her husband now thought it prudent to divorce in favor of Abu@ Sa¿^d.
