Özet:

The Ilkhanid State, founded by Hülegü, who was sent to the Near East to rule western lands of the Mongol Empire and to move Chinggisid domination to further places, reign overed for about half a century as subordinate to the center of Mongol Khaganate. The first Ilkhanid rulers, were directly subordinate to the khagan, attached great importance to affirmation and conferring of their ilkhanates by the khagan as required by Mongolian administrative custom; they moreover regarded this statute as a sign of legitimacy. Ilkhanate of Abaqa, ascended the throne after Hülegü’s death, affirmed by contemporary Mongol Emperor Kublai Khagan, approximately five years after his enthronement. While it is explicit that this latency, which occurred at the time when significant political developments happened in the Near East for the Mongols, is not incidental, satisfying explanations have not been made on the reasons for the issue. This study shortly discusses the establishment of the Iran-based substation-state and ilkhanate institution, examines the process between Abaqa Khan’s enthronement and his affirmation as an ilkhan by Kublai Khagan, and analyzes the factors affecting the conferring mentioned above in this context.
