Khoy Khanate
Khoy Khanate was a Kurdish khanate in present-day province of West Azerbaijan. The city of Khoy was inhabited and ruled by the Donboli tribe. In 1530, Hajji Beg Donboli, son of Sheikh Ahmad Beg, received the rule over Khoy and Sokmanabad on behalf of the Safavid Shah Tahmasp II and could establish his family's rule over the whole area and finally also over the city of Tabriz, where another branch ruled the Tabriz Khanate.[1][2][3]
