Baharlu dynasty - Turcoman dynasty which ruled as heads of Kara Koyunlu, Sultanate of Golconda[1] and Oudh State.[2]
Origin[edit]
According to various sources the dynasty was descended from Tura beg who escaped from Genghis khan's invasion of Transoxiana who was in turn descended from mythical Turkic king - Oghuz Khan.[1] However first notable member of dynasty was Bairam Khwaja - ruling beg of Erciş as a vassal of Jalayirid sultans.[3][4] His brother Qara Dursun was the paternal grandfather of Qara Yusuf.[1] Last Qara Qoyunlu sultan was Yusif b. Jahanshah (1468-1469) who was proclaimed Pirali bek Baharlu.[1]
Qutbshahis[edit]
While the main line was deposed in 1469, fleeing Sultanquli Qutbshah was able to set up his own government in Golconda. He was descended from Qara Iskander, a son of Qara Yusuf.
Nawabs of Awadh[edit]
Another branch of dynasty came to rule State of Oudh in 1739 in person of Safdar Jung who was descended from Jahan Shah.[2] He was Qutbshah's 4th cousin 2 times removed. In fact Safdar Jung's father Jafar Beg was described as a cousin-german to Sultanquli.[3]
Other members[edit]
