dbo:abstract
  • Bozulus, also spelled Boz-ulus or Boz Ulus (lit. 'grey nation' in Turkish), is the name given by the Ottomans to a tribal nomadic confederation of predominantly Turcoman tribes that were located in the vicinity of Diyarbakır. These tribes were brought into the Ottoman Empire following the victory of Sultan Selim I over the Safavids at the Battle of Chaldiran, as well as subsequent Ottoman campaigns in eastern Anatolia. By the 1520s, if not earlier, the Ottomans had established the Bozulus confederacy. Most of the tribes in the Bozulus stemmed from the Aq Qoyunlu confederacy. In the first half of 17th century, the confederacy gradually dissolved, as a result of the political unrest and the insecurity caused by Iranian military incursions, which resulted with some groups breaking away from the main body and going to western Anatolia.
