The Artuqid dynasty took its name from its founder, [[Artuk Bey]], who was of the Döger branch of the [[Oghuz Turks]] and ruled one of the Turkmen [[Anatolian beyliks|beyliks]] of the [[Seljuk Empire]]. Artuk's sons and descendants ruled the three branches in the region: [[Sökmen of Artukids|Sökmen's]] descendants ruled the region around [[Hasankeyf]] between 1102 and 1231; [[Ilghazi|Ilghazi's]] branch ruled from [[Mardin]] and [[Mayyafariqin]] between 1106 and 1186 (until 1409 as vassals) and [[Aleppo]] from 1117–1128; and the [[Harput]] line starting in 1112 under the Sökmen branch, and was independent between 1185 and 1233.
== History ==
[[File:Diyarbakir city walls.jpg|thumb|left|City walls of Diyarbakır.]]
The dynasty was founded by [[Artuk Bey|Artuk]], son of Eksük, a general originally under [[Malik Shah I|Malik-Shah I]] and then under the [[List of rulers of Damascus#Seljuq emirs|Seljuk emir of Damascus]], [[Tutush I]]. Tutush appointed Artuk governor of [[Jerusalem]] in 1086. Artuk died in 1091, and was succeeded by his sons [[Sökmen of Artukids|Sökmen]] and [[Ilghazi]] who were expelled from Jerusalem by the [[Fatimid]] vizier [[al-Afdal Shahanshah]] in 1098; the Fatimids lost the city to the [[First Crusade|Crusaders]] the following year after the [[Siege of Jerusalem (1099)|siege of Jerusalem of 1099]].<ref name="CEB195">{{cite book |last1=Bosworth |first1=C.

Sökmen and Ilghazi established themselves in [[Diyarbakır]], [[Mardin]], and [[Hasankeyf]] in [[Al-Jazira, Mesopotamia|al-Jazira]] where they came into conflict with the [[Great Seljuq|Seljuk sultanate]]. Sökmen, [[bey]] of Mardin, defeated the Crusaders at the [[Battle of Harran]] in 1104. Ilghazi succeeded Sökmen in Mardin and imposed his control over [[Aleppo]] at the request of the ''qadi'' [[Ibn al-Khashshab]] in 1118. The next year, [[Ilghazi]] defeated the Crusader state [[Principality of Antioch]] at the [[Battle of Ager Sanguinis]] of 1119.<ref name="CEB195"/>

After pillaging the [[County of Edessa]], Ilghazi made peace with the Crusaders. In 1121, he went north towards [[Armenia]] with his son-in-law [[Banu Mazyad|Mazyad]] Dubais II ibn Sadaqah and Sultan Malik of [[Ganja, Azerbaijan|Ganja]].  Ilghazi invaded Georgia and was defeated by [[David IV of Georgia]] at the [[Battle of Didgori]] of 1121. Ilghazi died in 1122, and although his nephew [[Nur al-Daulak Balak|Belek Ghazi]] nominally controlled Aleppo, the city was really controlled by ibn al-Khashshab. Ibn al-Kashshab was murdered by [[Order of Assassins|Assassins]] in 1125, and Aleppo fell under the control of [[Imad ad-Din Zengi|Zengi]], [[List of rulers of Mosul#Zengid emirs|atabeg of Mosul]], in 1128. After the death of Belek Ghazi, the Artuqids were split between Harput, Hasankeyf and Mardin. Sokman's son [[Rukn al-Dawla Da'ud|Rukn al-Dawla Dāʾūd]], bey of Hasankeyf, died in 1144, and was succeeded by his son [[Kara Arslan|Kara Aslan]]. Kara Aslan allied with [[Joscelin II of Edessa]] against the [[Zengid dynasty|Zengids]], and while Joscelin was away in 1144, Zengi recaptured [[Edessa, Mesopotamia|Edessa]], the first of the [[Crusader state]]s to fall (see [[Siege of Edessa (1144)|Siege of Edessa]]). The Artuqids became vassals of the Zengids during the reign of [[Nur al-Din Zengi]] (r. 1146–1174).<ref name="Bosw195">{{cite book |last1=Bosworth |first1=C.

In the early thirteenth century, they were for a time vassals of the Rum Seljuqs and of the Khwarazm Shah Jalal al-Dln Mengiibirti. Eventually, only the Mardln line survived, with Qara Arslan submitting to the Mongol II Khan Hulegu.}}</ref>
Kara Aslan's son [[Nur al-Din Muhammad|Nūr al-Dīn Muḥammad]] allied with the [[Ayyubid]] sultan [[Saladin]] against [[Kilij Arslan II]], [[Sultanate of Rum|Seljuk sultan of Rûm]], whose daughter had married Nur ad-Din Muhammad. In the peace settlement with Kilij Arslan II, Saladin gained control of the Artuqid territory, even though the Artuqids were still technically vassals of [[Mosul]], which Saladin did not  control.<ref name="Bosw195"/> The Seljuk Empire completely disintegrated soon after that in 1194.<ref name="CEB195"/>
The Artuqid dynasty remained in nominal command of al-Jazira, but their power declined under Ayyubid rule. The Hasankeyf branch conquered Diyarbakır in 1198 and its center was moved here, but was demolished by the Ayyubids in 1231 when it attempted to form an alliance with the Seljuks. The Harput branch was destroyed by the Sultanate of Rum due to following a slippery policy between the Ayyubids and Seljuqs. The Mardin branch survived for longer, but as a vassal of the [[Ayyubids]], [[Sultanate of Rum|Sultanate of Rûm]], [[Il-Khanate]] and the [[Timurids]].<ref name="Bosw195"/> [[Al-Muzaffar Fakhr al-Din Kara Arslan|Qara Arslan]] (r.1260-1292), ruler of Mardin, submitted to the Mongol [[Hulegu]].<ref name="Bosw195"/> The [[Kara Koyunlu]] captured Mardin and finally put an end to Artuqid rule in 1409.<ref name="CEB195"/>

Despite their constant preoccupation with war, members of the Artuqid dynasty left many architectural monuments.  Artuqid rulers commissioned many public buildings, such as mosques, bazaars, bridges, hospitals and baths for the benefit of their subjects. They left an important cultural heritage by contributing to literature and the art of metalworking. [[Artuklu Palace#The Door and the Door-Knockers|The door and door handles]] of the great Mosque of Cizre are unique examples of Artuqid metal working craftsmanship, which can be seen in the [[Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum]] in Istanbul, Turkey.
They made the most significant additions to [[Diyarbakır Fortress|Diyarbakır City Walls]]. Urfa Gate was rebuilt by Muhammad, son of Kara Arslan. In the same area of the western wall, south of Urfa Gate, two imposing towers, [[Ulu Beden Tower|Ulu Beden]] and [[Yedi Kardeş Tower|Yedi Kardeş]] were commissioned in 1208 by the Artuqid ruler Nāṣir al-Dīn Maḥmūd who designed the Yedi Kardeş tower himself and apposed the Artuqid double-headed eagle on its walls.
A large [[caravanserai]] in Mardin as well as the [[civil engineering]] feat of [[Malabadi Bridge]] are still in regular use in our day. The partially standing [[Old Bridge, Hasankeyf]], was built in 1116 by Kara Arslan.
The Great Mosques of [[Mardin]] and [[Silvan, Turkey|Silvan]] were possibly but in any case considerably developed over the 12th century by several Artuqid rulers on the basis of existing Seljuk edifices. The congregational mosque of Dunaysir (now [[Kızıltepe]]) was commissioned by Yülük Arslan (1184–1203) and completed after his death in 1204 by his brother Artuk Arslan (1203–1239).

The major branches of the Artuqid dynasty were those based in Hasankeyf, Harput, Mardin and Aleppo.<ref>Bosworth, Clifford E., ''The New Islamic Dynasties:  A Chronological and Genealogical Manual,'' Columbia University Press, New York, 1996, pgs. 194-196</ref>
===Hasankeyf branch===
This branch was initially based at [[Hasankeyf]] (Ḥiṣn Kaifā). The capital moved to [[Diyarbakır]] (Amid) in 1183.

Harput was conquered by [[Kayqubad I]], Seljuk sultan of Rûm, in 1234, as part of his conquering of Anatolia.
=== Mardin branch ===
The Mardin branch of the Artuqids ruled in [[Mardin]] and [[Mayyafariqin]] from 1101–1409 and were primarily descendants of Ilghazi and his brother Alp-Yaruq.
