Tulam

Tulam was one of the small chiefdoms of medieval western Gilan, centred on the Caspian harbour of Bandar-e Anzali on the edge of the Talish country. Its ruler Rikabzen ambushed and killed the Ilkhanid general Kutlushah in 1307 during Öljaitü's Gilan campaign, fighting alongside the men of Rasht and Shaft, yet the Mongols won only nominal overlordship and Tulam stayed in local Gilaki hands.
