Artuqids

The Artuqids were a Turkoman dynasty ruling from Mardin in al-Jazira. In 1337 its Mardin branch was ruled by as-Salih Mahmud, after having submitted to the Mongols.

Mahmud's son Dawud II succeeded in 1367. In 1384 Qara Muhammad of the Qara Qoyunlu invaded Mardin and secured the submission of Dawud's son Isa, who became his vassal. Isa submitted to Timur in 1394. The Qara Qoyunlu captured Mardin in 1409, ending Artuqid rule.
