The Anatolian beylik of Teke (Turkish: Tekeoğulları Beyliği), was one of the frontier principalities established by Oghuz Turkish clans after the decline of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm. Its capital was Antalya,[1] on the southern coast of modern Turkey. The beylik was established by a branch of the Hamidid dynasty in 1321 and lasted until 1423, when it was permanently annexed by the Ottoman Empire.[1]

History

[edit]

The Teke dynasty started with a split of territories between two brothers of the neighboring Beylik of the Hamidid dynasty. One brother, Yunus Bey, became the first ruler of the Teke beylik.[1] The inhabitants spoke Anatolian Turkish.[citation needed]

During the reign of the last ruler, Othman, the Ottoman Empire annexed the beylik in 1391. However, during his invasion of Anatolia in 1402, Timur restored Othman to his rule. In 1423, the Ottomans definitively re-annexed the beylik.[1]

Legacy

The Turkish province of Antalya was named the sub-province (sanjak) of Teke until the early years of the Republic of Turkey.[citation needed] The peninsula west of Antalya is called Teke Peninsula.
