The Hamidids (Modern Turkish: Hamidoğulları or Hamidoğulları Beyliği) was one of the Turkish beyliks in Anatolia during the 14th century. It emerged as a consequence of the decline of the Sultanate of Rum and ruled in the regions around Eğirdir and Isparta in southwestern Anatolia. The Beylik was founded by Dündar Bey (also called Felek al-Din Bey), whose father Ilyas and grandfather Hamid had been frontier rulers under the Seljuks. Felek al- Din's brother Yunus Bey founded the Beylik of Teke centered in Antalya and Korkuteli, neighboring the Hamidid dynasty to the south.

The Karasids (Ottoman Turkish: قرا صـی; Turkish: Karesioğulları) were a Turkoman dynasty that ruled the region of Mysia in northwestern Anatolia during the first half of the 14th century. While legendary lineages link the family to the Danishmendids, an 11–12th-century dynasty in central Anatolia, the earliest Karasid rulers the eponymous Karasi Bey and his father Kalam Shah are thought to have taken over the region around Balıkesir during the reign of Mesud II (r. 1284–97, 1303–8) of the Sultanate of Rum claiming independence.

Menteshe (Ottoman Turkish: منتشه, Turkish: Menteşe) was the first of the Turkish Anatolian beyliks (principality), the frontier principalities established by the Oghuz Turks after the decline of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum. Founded in 1260/1290, it was named for its founder, Menteshe Bey. Its capital city was Milas (Mylasa) in southwestern Anatolia. The heartland of the beylik corresponded roughly to ancient Caria or to the early modern Muğla Province in Turkey, including the province's three protruding peninsulas.

The Sarukhanids or Sarukhanid dynasty (Modern Turkish: Saruhanoğulları, Saruhanoğulları Beyliği), also known as the Principality of Saruhan and Beylik of Saruhan (Saruhan Beyliği), was one of the Turkish Anatolian beyliks (principality), centered in Manisa.

Fifteenth-century Burgundian traveler Bertrandon de la Broquière attested to female soldiers living in Dulkadir. Bohemian traveler Hans Dernschwam mentioned that the local women rode horses well comparable to men, whereas the women in Constantinople were low profile in contrast. However, the Dulkadir Kanunname (code of law) maintained a militantly masculine approach to gender relations similar to its Ottoman counterpart.
