Mukriyan (Kurdish: موکریان) or 'Deryaz'[4] was a Kurdish principality from the late 14th century to the 19th century centered around Mahabad.[5] Mukriyan was a neighbor to the Emirate of Bradost.[6]

Geography and tribes[edit]

Mukriyan encompassed the area south of Lake Urmia, including the cities of Mahabad, Piranshahr, Oshnaviyeh, Sardasht and Bukan[7] with the city of Naqadeh historically being included in Mukriyan,[8] though today Kurds only make up approximately 35% of the city.[9] The city of Saqqez is culturally very similar to Mukriyan, though politically it acted more as its own city-state under the Principality of Ardalan, though as an autonomous vassal and not apart of Ardalani central control.[10][11]

A few tribes include Dehbruki, Gewirk, Mangur, Mukri, Amireh, Khelki, Sheikh Sherefi, Selekei, Ḥasan Khāli, Kārish, Silki, Sekir, Fekiyesi, Ables, Bārik, Soleimāni, Beyi, Omerbil, Merzink, Lētāu Māwet, and Shiwezāi.[12][13]

History[edit]

Before Mukris, the region was ruled by Hadhabanis, the region is also in the same, or similar, location as Mannea and Takht-e Soleymān. During the battle of Dimdim, Mukriyanis rallied around Kurds of Bradost.[14] Abbas I of Persia married a Mukri noblewomen in 1610 AD following the execution of her brother, Bodagh Soltan, during the defeat of the Mukri at the battle of Dimdim.[15][16]
