In 1179, during the Crusader era, it appeared as an estate, sold to the Zion Monastery in Jerusalem.

In 1265, Seida was one of the estates given by Sultan Baibars to his followers after his victory over the Crusaders, with the whole of Seida given to emir Husam al-Din Itamish b. Utlis Khan.Ibn al-Furat, 1971, pp. 81, 209, 249 (map)

In 1517, Seida, like all of Palestine, was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire. In the 1596 tax registers, it was part of the nahiya ("subdistrict") of Jabal Sami, part of the larger Sanjak of Nablus. It had a population of 70 households and 2 bachelors, all Muslims. The inhabitants paid a fixed tax rate of 33,3% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues and a fixed tax for people of Nablus area; a total of 12,160 akçe. All of the revenue went to a Waqf.Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 130

In 1870/1871 (1288 AH), an Ottoman census listed the village in the nahiya (sub-district) of al-Sha'rawiyya al-Sharqiyya.{{Cite book |last=Grossman |first=David |title=Arab Demography and Early Jewish Settlement in Palestine |publisher=Magnes Press |year=2004 |location=Jerusalem |pages=254}}
