Khwarazmian Dynasty / Xarəzmşahlar / Khwārazmshāhiyān / خوارزمشاهیان

Wiki[link]

The Khwarazmian dynasty was a Turko-Persian Sunni Muslim dynasty of Turkic mamluk origin.

They ruled Greater Iran in the High Middle Ages, in the period of about 1077 to 1231,
first as vassals of the Seljuqs, Kara-Khitan and later as independent rulers, up until the Mongol invasions of the 13th century.

The dynasty was founded by Anush Tigin Gharchai, a former Turkish slave of the Seljuq sultans,
who was appointed the governor of Khwarezm. His son, Qutb ad-Din Muhammad I, became the first hereditary Shah of Khwarezm.
