Originally of Azdi Arab descent,[5] the Rawadids ruled Tabriz and northeastern Adharbayjan in the late 8th and early 9th centuries.[1] The family became Kurdicized by the early 10th century and became centered on Tabriz and Maragha.[6] In the second half of the 10th century and much of the 11th century, these Kurdified descendants controlled much of Adharbayjan as well as parts of Armenia.[1]
