Artuqids

Turkmen dynasty with branches at Hasankeyf (from 1102; at Amid from 1183), Mardin (from 1106/08) and Harput (1112–1234). Amid was held by the Inalids until 1183 and by the Artuqids from 1184 to 1231; after the Ayyubids took Hasankeyf and Amid (1232) only the Mardin branch remained, a vassal of the Mongols and Turkmen confederations until the Qara Qoyunlu ended it in 1409.
