Sohri

Sohri was a Kurdish tribal polity around Rawanduz above the Erbil plain, later known as the Soran emirate. In 1337 Husam Sohri ruled there as a vassal of the Sutayids; the emirate's early formation is uncertain.

After the battle of Chaldiran in 1514, Soran seized land between Erbil and Kirkuk. In 1535 Sultan Suleiman had its Erbil ruler Izz al-Din Shir killed and gave the city to a Yazidi chief. The emirate revived at Rawanduz in 1816, but the Ottomans conquered it in 1836.
