Description
The Khwarazmian Dynasty was a Persian Sunni Muslim dynasty of Turkic mamluk (slave) origin. The dynasty ruled large parts of Central Asia and Persia from roughly 1077 to 1231 CE, first as vassals of the Seljuqs and Kara Khitan Khanate and later as independent rulers, up until the Mongol invasion of Khwarezmia in the 13th century.
