Pervaneids

1277 CE – 1322 CE · capital Sinop

The Sinop beylik of the family of Mu'in al-Din Suleyman Pervane, the vizier who ruled Seljuk Anatolia under the Mongols.

Origins

Mu'in al-Din Suleyman, known by his title Pervane, was the most powerful man in the Sultanate of Rum in the 1260s and 1270s and conquered the Black Sea port of Sinop in the early 1260s. After the Mongols executed him in 1277 for suspected collusion with the Mamluk sultan Baybars, his descendants kept Sinop as a hereditary domain.

Rule and society

The Pervane had built a madrasa in Sinop. His son and grandsons ruled the port and its hinterland as Ilkhanid vassals. The last of them, Ghazi Chelebi, was famed for naval raids against the Genoese of Caffa and the Empire of Trebizond.

Decline and legacy

After Ghazi Chelebi's death around 1322, Sinop passed to the Candarids.

Few sources survive for this state; details are uncertain.
