The ‘Annāzids were another Kurdish line, like the Ḥasanūyids (see above, no. 76), with their power-base in the Shādhanjān tribe. The founder, Abu ’1-Fatḥ Muḥammad, ruled from Ḥulwān, but his three sons and successors ruled in various other parts of southern Kurdistan, maintaining themselves against the Būyids and the Kākūyids (see below, no. 78), but with their dominions suffering increasingly from Oghuz Türkmen incursions led by the Seljuq Ibrāhīm Inal. The history of the ‘Annāzids in these decades is confused and chaotic, for the family had several branches and the territorial extent of their rule was often shifting. After Ṭoghrïl Beg came to Iraq in 447/1055, the sources are largely silent on the ‘Annāzids, except for occasional references which indicate that some members of the family retained a certain amount of power in Kurdistan and Luristān until some time after 570/1174.
