:Sarukhanids

The founder of the beylik, Sarukhan Bey, began his military career as an emir of the Germiyanids. Sometime at the beginning of the 14th century, he seized territories for himself in the Gediz River (Hermus under its previous Byzantine rulers) valley and founded a dynasty that started to rule the region from its base in Manisa.{{cite book | last = Shaw | first = Stanford | author-link = Stanford Shaw | title = History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey | volume = 1 | date = 1976 | publisher = Cambridge University Press | pages = [https://archive.org/details/historyofottoman00stan/page/10 10] | isbn = 978-0-521-29163-7 | url = https://archive.org/details/historyofottoman00stan/page/10 }} Its principal towns included Menemen, Gördes, Demirci, Nif, and Kasaba.

The dynasty's period as a regional power is largely limited to the long reign of its founder, Sarukhan Bey (d. 1346), under whom the principality became a naval power in the Aegean Sea, and regularly battled with the fleets of the Republic of Genoa and the Dukes of Naxos.

The most enduring monument of the Sarukhan dynasty is the Great Mosque at Manisa. Constructed in 1374 by İshak Bey, the mosque has a prayer hall covered by a dome 14m in diameter. Attached to the prayer hall is an innovative, semi-covered forecourt. The building likely served as inspiration for the Üç Şerefeli Mosque, constructed some sixty years later by the Ottoman sultan Murad II.{{cite book |title=A History of Ottoman Architecture |url=https://archive.org/details/historyofottoman0000good_o1e5 |url-access=registration |last=Goodwin |first=Godfrey |year=1971 |publisher=Thames and Hudson |location=London |pages=[https://archive.org/details/historyofottoman0000good_o1e5/page/25 25–7] | isbn = 0-500-34040-4 }}

The region roughly corresponding to the area of extension of Sarukhan dynasty's administration became an Ottoman sub-province (sanjak) under the continued name of Sarukhan until the early years of the Republic of Turkey.{{cite book |last1=Ζαχαριάδου |first1=Ελισάβετ Α |title=The Ottoman Emirate (1300-1389): Halcyon Days in Crete 1 : a Symposium Held in Rethymnon 11-13 January 1991 |date=1993 |publisher=Crete University Press |isbn=978-960-7309-58-7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=35xpAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Sarukhanids%22+-wikipedia |language=en}}
