Usfurid Dynasty

The Usfurid Dynasty was the ruling family of the Gulf coast (on the Arabian side) during Season 1 of Brazilian's Varna series.
* The Usfurids made their first move in late 1471, when they joined the Mamluk Sultanate in their invasion of Qara Qoyunlu. After nearly two years the Turkmens surrendered, and in the concluding Treaty of Baghdad, the Usfurids gained Kuwait, and a vassal state known as the Emirate of Basra.
* In 1478, the Maghrebi League was founded and the Usfurids joined.
* When the Mamluk Caliphate invaded Yemen in 1487, the Usfurids expanded their realm into warlord territory.
* During the Great Mediterranean War, most of the Usfurid troops were sent to Tlemcen and Morocco to break the Iberian sieges of their cities.
* In 1514, both Tlemcen and the Usfurids "showed disloyalty" to the Mamluk Caliph, so they were invaded by the other Maghrebi League members. Basra was annexed by the Emirate of Baghdad (Mamluk vassal), and the Usfurid territories came under Omani control.
