This chapter traces the career of Īlgā Noyan, ancestor of the Jalayirid dynasty, and his sons during the early Ilkhan period. Īlgā Noyan’s family was one of several Jalayir families in the service of the Ilkhan rulers. What becomes clear from an analysis of this period is that these Jalayir families did not coordinate their activities on the basis of any tribal solidarity, but instead competed with one another for favor and influence at the Ilkhanid court, and within the households of the Chinggisids. This chapter also highlights the significant role that Jalayir amirs played in Anatolia in this period, and how failed revolts there strengthened the position of the descendants of Īlgā Noyan in particular.
