Emirate of Bradost

Emirate of Bradost or Emirate of Biradost (Kurdish: Mîrektiya Biradost,^[1] 1510–1609)^[2] was a hereditary Kurdish emirate, ruling roughly the area from Rawandiz to Targavar and Margavar south of Urmia at its height. The emirate was founded in 1510 and acted as a bufferzone between the Ottoman Empire and Safavid Iran throughout the 16th century.^[2] The emirate ultimately succumbed to the expansionist ambitions of the Ottomans and Safavids in Kurdistan.^[3]

The Biradost dynasty claimed descent from the Hasanwayhids.^[2]
