Jalayirids

The Jalayirids were a Mongol dynasty rooted in the Jalayir tribe. In 1337 Hasan Buzurg controlled former Ilkhanid lands around Baghdad, competing with other Mongol emirs after the empire's collapse.

His son Shaykh Uways took Tabriz and Azerbaijan in 1360 and defeated the Qara Qoyunlu at Mush in 1366. Timur sacked Baghdad in 1401, driving Sultan Ahmad into exile; Ahmad returned, but Qara Yusuf defeated and killed him in 1410. The Qara Qoyunlu conquered the remaining Jalayirid lands in southern Iraq in 1432.
