Anatolian beyliks
Anatolian beyliks (, Ottoman Turkish: "Tavâif-i mülûk", "Beylik" ) were small principalities (or petty kingdoms) in Anatolia governed by beys, the first of which were founded at the end of the 11th century. A second more extensive period of foundations took place as a result of the decline of the Seljuq Sultanate of Rûm in the second half of the 13th century.
