Definitive Ottoman annexation |
The Ṣarukhān family of begs ruled over the agriculturally rich coastal province of classical Lydia, Ṣarukhān Beg having conquered Magnesia or Manisa in c. 713/ c. 1313. From there his family became, together with the neighbouring begs of Aydïn (see below, no. 113), a naval power in the Aegean, involved with the Genoese and Byzantines, and also, after the middle years of the century, acquiring a common frontier with the Ottomans after the latter’s annexation of the principality of Qarasï (see above, no. 111). The Ottoman Bāyazīd I annexed the Ṣarukhān principality, but it was restored by Tīmūr immediately after his victory at Ankara in 804/1402 over the sultan, only to be definitively re-annexed by the Ottomans eight years later, after which Manisa became the residence of one of the Ottoman princes.
