Il Khānid annexation

Sulaymān Ashraf Oghlu was a commander in the service of the Seljuqs who, in the period of decay of the sultans in Konya, built up a a small principality centred on Beyşehir in the classical Pisidia. His successors extended to other towns in the region, such as Akşehir and Bolvadin, but the beylik was brought under Il Khānid obedience by the Mongols’ governor for Anatolia Temür Tash b. Choban, who killed the last ruler in Beyşehir. After Temür Tash’s own death, the lands of the principality were divided between the Ḥamīd Oghullarï and the Qaramānids.
