Pervâneoğlu

The Beylik of Pervane (dark blue) in 1300.

Pervâneoğlu^[1] (in Turkish plural Pervâneoğulları, 'sons of the pervâne') or Beylik of Sinop was an Anatolian beylik that existed between the second half of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th (1261–1326).

The beylik was founded by Mu'in al-Din, Seljuk pervâne of Persian origin.^[2] His grandson Gazi Çelebi, the last Bey of Pervane, transformed his realm into a serious regional naval power, conducting raids against Genoese possessions in the Black Sea and Crimea, as well as against the Empire of Trebizond. Having no sons, Gazi Çelebi bequeathed his lands to the Candarids.
