Annexation by the Jāndār Oghullarï

Chobān, apparently from the Qayï tribe of the Oghuz, was a commander in the service of the Seljuqs who became governor of Kastamonu, probably from 608/1211 onwards, and was entrusted by ‘Alā’ al-Dīn Kay Qubādh I with command of an expedition against the Crimea in 622/1225. His successors seem to have enjoyed a sporadic and limited authority in Kastamonu under Seljuq and then Il Khānid suzerainty, the latter exercised through their representative Mu‘īn al-Dīn Sulaymān Parwāna (see above, no. 122), but the region eventually passed to the Jāndār Oghullarï (see above, no. 121).
