The Anatolian Turkish Beylik of 'Dulkadir' with its capital in Maraş was one of the frontier principalities established by Oghuz Turkish clans after the decline of Anatolian Seljuk Sultanate.
For a while, the Beylik of Dulkadir had an influence extending from Kırşehir to Musul, but with the rise of the Ottomans, they became a buffer state between the Ottomans and the Mameluks of Egypt. They became part of the Ottoman Empire in early 16th century. Until the mid-19th century, the region around Maraş was often referred to as Dulkadir (or Zulkadriyye) in Ottoman documents.
