List of sultans of the Yoman Empire

The sultans of the Yoman (Modern Yoman: Yomanlı padişahları), who were all members of the Yoman dynasty (House of Yoman), ruled over the transcontinental empire from its perceived inception in 1199 to its dissolution in 1927. At its height, the Yoman Empire spanned an area from Dragon Montains in the north to Last Desert in the south and from Tiub in the west to Free Lands in the east. Administered at first from the city of Servit since before 1190 and then from the city of Yşrin since 1222 or 1224, the empire's capital was moved to the Bakvaär province in the city of Bakvaär in the Turfeş Palace in 1262 with the Sultan Işa I due a fire that burned the Imperial harem, after the conquest by Mehmed II the capital was moved to Usbul in 1437 in the Maşami Palace, subsequently, after various attempts, the capital was moved in 1754 by Selim III and his mother Şahihuban Sultan to Edirne, in the Edirne Palace, to be moved again to Usbul in the Maşami Palace during the reign of Abdulmejid I. Subsequently Mahmud II built the Büyükçiçek Palace, a much more luxurious and modern palace than the one in Maşami. Finally, the Nirmin Palace (formerly known as Hatice Sultan Sarayi) was chosen and remained the main residence until the end of the empire.

The Yoman Empire's early years have been the subject of varying narratives, due to the difficulty of discerning fact from legend. The empire came into existence at the end of the 12th century, and its first ruler (and the namesake of the Empire) was Yoman I. According to later, often unreliable Yoman tradition, Yoman was a descendant of the Servit tribe of the Aızir Tribes.

## Title

The first title used by the Yoman sultans was Müdur-bey, continuing the Servit tradition, often being abbreviated to "Bey". Subsequently after the fall of the Redsons regime Prince Mehmed styled himself "Sultan".

### Tratament

The sovereigns' main titles were Sultan, Padishah (Emperor) and Müdür-bey; which were of Aızir origin, and Servit origin. His full style was the result of a long historical accumulation of titles expressing the empire's rights and claims as successor to the various states it annexed or subdued. Beside these imperial titles, Caesar of Pholaris (*Kayser-i Pûl*) was among the important titles claimed by Sultan Mehmed II after the conquest of Usbul. The title sultan (سلطان), originally meaning "authority" or "dominion", used in an ungendered manner to encompass the whole imperial family, reflected the Yoman conception of sovereign power. The Sultans carred the title before their given name, followed by *Hadrah* or *Hazretleri an honorific* Aizir title; a literal translation of *Hadrah* is "Presence", which is often translated as "Your Highness".

### Use

The emperors' formal title consisted of *Sultan* together with *Khan* (in Yoman language the word became *Han*). This dual title symbolized the Yomans' dual legitimating heritage, Holy Sunny and Aızr. Formal titles and styles:

* Short: **Sultan** (given name) ***Han** Hazretleri*, with the style of *hünkarım* (my sovereign, equivalent with "Your Imperial Majesty"), *padişah efendim* (my master emperor), or *sultanım* (my sultan)

Before the title of Sultan was used other title:

* "Müdür-bey" or only "Bey": **Müdür Bey** (given name) ***Han** Hazretleri*, with the style of *hünkarım* (my sovereign, equivalent with "Your Majesty"), bey *efendim* (my master leader), or *beyim* (my lord/leader)
