Sultan Ahmad (r.1382-1410) Jalayer - Last prince of the Ilkhanid dynasty

Sultan Ahmad 1405-1434 Upon murdering his brother Sheikh Hossein, he ascended the throne. After the appearance of Amir Hossein Gurkan, and upon his entering Iran, Sultan Ahmad neither had the power to defend himself, nor was he willing to obey him. He wondered from place to place from 1404 to 1434. Amir Teimur conquered Azarbaijan in in 1409 and Sultan Ahmad's territory was diminished to the degree that oly Iraq remained. When Amir Teimur came to Baghdad, Sultan Ahmad fled to Egypt. He returned home when Teimur died in 1428, but he entered into conflict with Qara Yusef , the Turkman, and was killed in 1434. Although some other members of the Jalayeriars came to power, afer the death of Sultan Ahmad, maintaining power until 1457, none of them enjoyed a remarqable acclaim. In fact Sultan Ahmad was the last Ilkhan of the Ilkhanide dynasty. ] ref page 195 of The Book of Iran.

http://bit.ly/1O5iJ96 Ahmad came to power as a result of a plot against his brother Shaikh Hussain Jalayir. In 1382 he departed from Ardabil, which he had been given control of, and took Tabriz; Husain was captured and executed. Ahmad's other brothers, Shaikh 'Ali and Bayazid opposed him; Husain's former amir, 'Adil Aqa, had Bayazid proclaimed sultan in Soltaniyeh, while Shaikh 'Ali prepared to leave Baghdad and march on Tabriz. To secure his position, Ahmad requested the assistance of the Black Sheep Turkmen. Shaikh 'Ali fell in battle against the Turkmen; within two years Ahmad was also able to neutralize Bayazid (see Bayazid (Jalayirids) for further details).

In the spring of 1384 the Chagatai amir Timur attacked the Jalayirids. Although Sultan Ahmad was not captured, his subordinates in Soltaniyeh failed to defend the town and Timur took it with a minimum of resistance. Timur gave the town to 'Adil Aqa, who had defected to him, before retiring from the campaign. Ahmad then sent an army to retake Soltaniyeh, but 'Adil Aqa successfully defended it.

In the midst of Timur's absence, Sultan Ahmad had to deal with an invasion by Tokhtamysh, khan of the Golden Horde. Tokhtamysh's troops swept down into Azerbaijan, devastating the land, and Tabriz was sacked in around the end of 1385. This raid significantly weakened Ahmad's position; he consequently could not combat Timur when he returned in 1386. Tabriz was taken by the Chagatais in the summer; its citizens had to pay a heavy tribute. 'Adil Aqa collected the tribute but was executed by Timur, who suspected him of corruption. Azerbaijan from this point on remained in the control of the Timurids, as Ahmad could not recover the province.......

[....Jalayirds were pushed south into lower Iraq, ruling over the towns of Hillah, Wasit and Basra until extinguished by the Kara Koyunlu (Black Sheep) in 1432, bringing an end to the dynasty.....] [At the beginning of Qara Yusuf's reign, the Kara Koyunlu established an alliance with the Jalayirid dynasty in Baghdad and Tabriz, however, both were threatened by the Timurids from the east. In 1396 Tamerlane appointed his son Miran Shah as viceroy of Azerbaijan. By collaborating on equal terms with the Sultan Ahmed Jalayir against the Timurids, Qara Yusuf effectively secured the independence of the Kara Koyunlu. http://bit.ly/1KqYrpn
