TheAhmadilis[4](Persian:احمدیلی), also known as theAtabegsof Maragheh(اتابکان مراغه),RomanizedasAtābakān-e Marāghe,were Atabegs of theSeljuk Empireand a localTurcomandynasty who ruled from the early 12th century until 1208–09 inMaraghehitself and inRu'in Dezfor some years after theMongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire.They ruled approximately from 1122 to 1225.[4]
Notices in the chronicles of this localised line of Atabegs are only sporadic, and numismatic evidences have not thus far been found,[4]so it is difficult to reconstruct their chronology and genealogy.[4]Bosworth says that they were a dynasty ofOghuz Turkorigin that started with Aq Sunqur Ahmadili, who was presumably a freedman of the commander of theSeljuq Empire,Ahmadil ibn Ibrahim.[4]Aq Sunqur Ahmadili became Atagberg of the Seljuk PrinceDawud ibn Mahmud.[5]His son Aq-Sonqur II was Ataberg for the infant son ofMuhammad ibn Mas'udin 1159, and in 1160 tried to impose him in place ofArslan-Shah (Seljuk sultan),who was supported by theEldiguzidsfor the Seljuk succession, but in vain.[5]
A female member of the family,Sulafa Khatun,was ruling Maragheh until these places were sacked by theMongolsin 1221. In 1225, Sulafa Khatun married theKhwarazmshahJalal al-Din Mangburni,who administered her territories. In 1231, the region fell to the Mongol armies.
