Annexation by the Germiyān Oghullarï

The Ṣāḥib Atā Oghullarï ruled a small principality centred on Afyon Karahisar and lying between the beyliks of the Germiyān Oghullarï and the Ḥamīd Oghullarï. They derived their name from the vizier of the Rūm Seljuqs Fakhr al-Dīn ‘Alī, called Ṣāḥib Atā (d. 687/1288), whose two sons received various march towns, including Kütahya and Akşehir, and then, more permanently, Ladik and Afyon Karahisar. Their descendants were latterly only strong enough to survive under the protection of the Germiyān Oghullarï, who towards the middle of the fourteenth century incorporated their lands into their own beylik.
