Muzaffer al-Din Yavlak Arslan was the third bey of the Chobanids. In Selçukname, he is referred to as Melik Muzaffer al-Din.[1]

Reign

It was understood that the task of protecting the Seljuk-Byzantine border from the Byzantines in northwest Anatolia belonged to the Chobanids.[1]

Early years

Although the Chobanids lived fairly peacefully in Arslan's early reign, other principalities definitely didn't. Anatolia was in a state of turmoil due to throne changes and the chaos of the Ilkhanate Mongols but Yavlak Arslan elected to continue with his father's policy of loyalty to the Ilkhanate.

The rebellion of Rükneddin Kılıçarslan and Arslan's death

In 1292, the leader of the Ilkhanate, Arghun Khan, died and was succeeded by his brother Gaykhatu, the Turks of Anatolia led a revolution. A rebellion in the end by Yavlak Arslan resulted in Arslan's death in Kastamonu against combined Seljuq–Mongol forces, and the region was given to the Seljuq commander Shams al-Din Yaman Jandar, whose descendants were to found the Jandarid Principality in the same region.

Seeing the opportunity, the vassalised Seljuq Sultan Mesud II's brother Rükneddin Kılıçarslan rebelled against his brother. When Gaykhatu came to Anatolia with his army, Kılıçarslan moved to Yavlak Arslan's capital Kastamonu and organized the Turkmens there. Muzaffereddin Yavlak Arslan's side in this rebellion is mixed. Although he wrote that he opposed Mesud and Kılıçarslan organised the Turkmen in Kastamonu,[1][2][3] some sources wrote that Muzaffereddin Yavlak Arslan opposed Kılıçarslan and was killed by him.[4][5]

As a result, Muzaffer al-Din Yavlak Arslan was killed during the rebellion, and the region was given to the Seljuq commander Shams al-Din Yaman Jandar, whose descendants were to found the Jandarid Principality in the same region. His grave is thought to be in aşköprü or Kastamonu.

In the Turkish TV series, Kuruluş: Osman, he is portrayed by the Turkish actor Umut Karadağ [tr].[6] A historian was concerned over the fact that such an important and great person from history was being portrayed in a negative way, Mehmet Bozdağ, the producer of the series, assured him that after a few episodes, Yavlak Arslan will end up becoming a 'real hero'.[7]
