The Khoy Khanate (Persian: خانات خوی, romanized: Khānāt-e Khoy), also known as the Principality of Donboli (Persian: شاهزادهنشین دنبلی, romanized: Shāhzādeneshīn-e Donbolī), was a hereditary Kurdish khanate around Khoy and Salmas in Iran ruled by the Donboli tribe from 1210 until 1799.[1][2][3] The khanate has been described as the most powerful khanate in the region during the second half of the 18th century.[4] The official religion of this principality was originally Yezidism,[5] until some rulers eventually converted to Islam. The principality has its origins under the Ayyubid dynasty and was ultimately dissolved in 1799 by Abbas Mirza.[6] During this period, the status of principality oscillated between autonomous and independent.[3]
