Īlkhānān

The Ilkhanate was a Mongol state founded by Hülegü in Iran and neighbouring lands. After Abu Sa'id died in 1335, rival commanders and claimants divided the realm.

A succession of short-lived khans followed until the Chobanid Hasan took Azerbaijan in 1338. The Chobanids installed nominal Ilkhans there, but in 1357 Jani Beg of the Golden Horde captured their city of Tabriz, ending their rule.
