Hakkari (tribe)
Hakkari, Al-Hakkariyya, Hakkariyya or Hakkarians, were a large medieval Kurdish tribe and a royal house, that played a significant role in the Ayyubid dynasty and the Crusades.
The Hakkari was recorded in Islamic sources, written in (Arabic: الهکارية al-Hakkārīyya), while in Christian Syriac sources as Hakkarāyē (ܐܹܝܵܪܵܟ ܼܿܗ, Hakkarians).
The Hakkari tribe resided in eastern part of Zozān region, in the district of Jabal al-Hakkariyya. located Between modern day northeast of Mosul highlands and the Foothills of western Adharbayjān, near the Gulmarkiyya tribe. Their domain included Asheb or Asep, Tushi or Tusi, Judaydla catles, Suri, Harur, Malasi, Babukha, Bakza and Jabal Luhayja to the north of Mosul (in the direction of Nisibis). Ashib was their capital.
The tribe lived a nomadic lifestyle in the early 10th century. In 979, The Hakkari tribe moved further westward crossing the Great Zab river, and taking over the Beth Daseni, an old Nestorian diocese. They then began massacring the local Christian population. According to 10th century Syriac writer, Joseph Busnaya, over 5,000 Christians were massacred by the Hakkari Kurds.
In 980AD, the Buyid ruler, Fanna Khusraw sent an expedition against the Hakkari tribe, probably as punishment as a response to their mass murder of Christians in Dasen. The Hakkari chief was besieged by the Buyid army, the Buyids promised the Hakkari chief that if he surrendered he would be spared. However when the Hakkari chief surrendered, he was crucified and his body was put on display on the road to Mosul.
The Hakkariyya tribe submitted to Badh ibn Dustak and were incorporated into the Marwanid realm.
In 1041AD, after the defeat of the invading Oghuz Turks and the subsequent massacre of them in Urmia by the Rawadids, they fled to Hakkari where they ravaged it. They were eventually defeated by the Kurds and 1500 Oghuz tribesmen were killed and the survivors were enslaved by the Hakkari Kurdish tribe.
Jayush Bag, the Seljuk Governor of Mosul, in 1115-1116, led an expedition against the Hakkari Kurds as a consequence of Hakkari Banditry on the roads leading to Mosul.
