The Ildegizids,Eldiguzids (Azerbaijani: Eldəgəzlər or Eldənizlər, Turkish: İldenizli Atabeyliği, Persian: ایلدگزیان‎‎) or Ildenizids, also known as Atabegs of Azerbaijan (Persian: اتابکان آذربایجان‎‎ Atabakan-e Āzarbayjan,Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Atabəylər Dövləti) were a dynasty of Kipchak origin which controlled most of northwestern Persia/eastern Transcaucasia, includingArran, most of Azerbaijan, and Djibal. At their extent, the territory under their control, roughly corresponds to most of north-western and upper-central modern Iran, most of the regions of modern Azerbaijan and smaller portions in modern Armenia (southern part), Turkey (northeastern part) and Iraq (eastern part). Down to the death in war 1194 of Toghril b. Arslan, last of the Great Seljuq rulers of Iraq and Persia, the Ildenizids ruled as theoretical subordinates of the Sultans, acknowledging this dependence on their coins almost down to the end of the Seljuqs. Thereafter, they were in effect an independent dynasty, until the westward expansion of the Mongols and the Khwarazm-Shahs weakened and then brought the line to its close.
