Chavdar (tribe)
Chavdar was a tribe of Tatars inhabiting western Anatolia in the 14th century. According to modern historian Faruk Sümer, the tribe's name was ultimately connected to Chavdar, a son of the Ilkhanid commander Alinaq Noyan who was active in Anatolia.[1] According to Ottoman sources, the tribe inhabited the region around Eskişehir at the time of Osman I (r. 1299–1323) and was headed by a certain Chavdaroghlu. The name of the town Çavdarhisar likely alludes to the tribe.[2] The tribe is known to have attacked the Ottomans in 1313 near Karacahisar.[3]
