The Safavid historian and military officer Hasan Beg Rumlu, who lived in the 16th century, mentions a little-known facet of the Ottoman-Kurdish-Safavid conflicts. Numerous prominent characters in the drama were linked to one another, either by marriage or blood.
Hasan Beg Rumlu (16th-century):
Sikandar Pāshā's coming to Khuy; death of Hājī Beg Dumbali.The Governor of Wan, Sikandar Pāshā, incited by Hasan Beg Mahmūdī, gathered together his Kurdistan army, and fell upon Haji Beg Dumbali at Khūy, whose wife, being the sister of Hasan Beg, opened the gates. Haji Beg, after a brave resistance, was killed; and also many of the inhabitants of Khūy. Then Sikandar returned to Wan.
