Anatolian beyliks

Anatolian beyliks (Turkish: Anadolu beylikleri, Ottoman Turkish: Tevâif-i mülûk, Beylik Turkish pronunciation: [bejlic]), sometimes known as Turkmen beyliks, were small Turkish 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.
