Jalayirids

The Jalayirids were a dynasty descended from a Mongol tribe, one of the successor states that divided the lands of the Ilkhanate after Abu Said died in 736/1335. Founded by Hasan Buzurg, they ruled from Baghdad and Tabriz, reached their height under Uways, and were weakened by quarrels among brothers and by Timur's invasions; their last prince fell during the siege of Hilla in about 835/1432.
