Lurystan (Hazarasp) Türkmens

The founder and the commander of this Soltanate was Ebu Tahir Atabeg. Ebu Tahir with the Salyr Türkmens went and conquered the Great Lurystan in 1148 (543). The areas under Ebu Tahir’s rule expanded rapidly, after he had captured Huzistan, which was offered to him by the Mogul Han. Ebu Tahir later took Isfahan, after the death of Afrasyyap I Argu. However, he was punished for this after a short while. This small state lasted till 1339 (740) and its capital was Idaj. Some historians also noted that Yusuf Shah II took Suster, Huweyza and Basra under his domination. Another family of these Atabegs ruled over Small Lurystan from the end of the 12^th century to the beginning of the 16^th century.
