The Ak Koyunlu (White Sheep Turks) were a Turkoman tribe of pastoral nomadic warriors, first recorded as being in
Eastern Anatolia in 1340. Subject to Tamerlane's short-lived Timurid Empire. Tamerlane granted the Ak Koyunlu the
land around Diyarbakr. Following the deathg of Tamerlane in 1405, the process of the dissolution of the Timurid
Empire began, and the Ak Koyunlu became a polity of their own, long outshadowed by their neighbours, the
Kara Koyunlu (or Black Sheep Turks). In 1467 the Ak Koyunlu defeated and conquered the Kara Koyunlu, and
established an Empire which included Eastern Anatolia, Iraq, Armenia, Azerbaijan and most of modern Iran except
for parts of Khorasan. In the early 16th century they were challenged by the Safavid Order; in 1508 the Ak Koyunlu Dynasty was terminated, succeeded by the Safavid Dynasty.
