Beylik of Tanrıbermiş
Encyclopedia
Beylik of Tanrıbermiş was a small and short-lived principality in Western Anatolia
, (modern Turkey
) during the late 11th century.
After the battle of Malazgirt in 1071, Oghuz Turkmen
(Turkoman) tribes led by ghazi warriors began to settle in Anatolia. A ghazi named Tanrıbermiş was one of them. Beginning by 1074 he founded a small principality in West Anatolia. His realm included Alaşehir
(Philadelphia of the antiquity) and Efes
(Ephesus of the antiquity) . However, during the first crusade
in 1098 his territory was recovered by Byzantine Emperor Alexios I. This lost was crucial, for Turks weren't able to regain Western Anatolia for about two centuries (see Aydinids). Even after that, Alaşehir wasn't captured up until 1390.
