Ardalan
Ardalan or Erdelan (1169–1867) was the name of a Kurdish vassaldom in north-western Iran during the Qajar period.
Ardalan vassaldom was established in an area encompassing the present-day Iranian province of Kurdistan from the medieval period up to the mid-19th century. Ardalan is also the name of the ruling family of that vassaldom. Their capital was in the town of Sinne (Persian: Sanandaj). Ardalan was mainly composed of the Kurdish tribe of Ardalan of present-day north-western Iran, now dispersed in and around the city of Sanandaj. The ruling family of this tribe claimed descent from the Marwanids of Diyarbakir.
