The area was conquered by the [[Rashidun Caliphate]] in 638 and later it came under the control of the [[Umayyad]] and [[Abbasid]] [[Arab]] dynasties. [[Tulunids]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/antakya | title=Antakya }}</ref> briefly ruled it before Abbasid one was restored. From the 10th century onwards, the region was controlled by the [[Aleppo]]-based [[Hamdanids]] after a brief rule of [[Ikhshidids]]. In 969 the city of [[Antioch]] was recaptured by the [[Byzantine Empire]]. It was conquered by [[Philaretos Brachamios]], a Byzantine general in 1078. He founded a principality from Antioch to [[Şanlıurfa|Edessa]]. It was captured by [[Suleiman ibn Qutulmish|Suleiman I]], who was Sultan of Rum (ruler of Anatolian Seljuks), in 1084. It passed to [[Tutush I]], Sultan of Aleppo (ruler of Syria Seljuks), in 1086. Seljuk rule lasted 14 years until Hatay's capture by the Crusaders in 1098, when parts of it became the centre of the [[Principality of Antioch]]. At the same time, much of Hatay was part of the [[Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia]], who subsequently allied with the [[Mongols]] and took control of the Principality of Antioch in 1254. Hatay was captured from the Mongol-Armenian alliance by the [[Mameluks]] in 1268, who subsequently lost it to [[Timur (Tamerlane)]] at the start of the 15th century.
