Kubadids

The Kubadids were a Turkoman emirate around Samsun on the Black Sea, whose dynasty claimed Seljuk descent. In 1337 Tâceddin Altunbaş ruled as a nominal tributary of the Eretnids.

Bayezid I annexed Samsun in 1398, but the Ottoman defeat at Ankara in 1402 allowed the family to return. Cüneyd Bey retook the port in 1414 and was soon murdered in a local feud. His son Hüseyin seized it again in 1422, only to surrender at Amasya after the Ottomans crushed the Turkoman lords.
