Bahdinan

The Bahdinan (or Badinan) was one of the most powerful and enduring Kurdish emirates. It was founded by Baha-al-Din originally from Shamdinan area in Hakkari in sometime between 13th or 14th century CE. The capital of this emirate was Amedi for a long time. The Emirs of Bahdinan were originally Arabs, as they were the descendants of the Abbasid Caliphs.
