The Ahmadilis^[4] (Turkish: Aksungurlar, Persian: احمدیلی‎‎), also called by the title Atabegs of Maragheh (Atābakān-e Marāghe, Persian: اتابکان مراغه‎‎), were a dynasty of Turkish^[4] origin who ruled from the early 6th/12th century until 605/1208–09 in Maragheh itself and in Rūʾīn Dez for some years after the Mongol conquest. They ruled approximately from 1122 to 1220.^[4]

Notices in the chronicles of this localised line of Atabegs are only sporadic, and numismatic evidences have not thus far been found.^[4] So there is a difficultly in reconstructing their chronology and genealogy.^[4] The dynasty starts from Aq Sunqur Ahmadili, who was presumably a freedman of the Kurdish commander of the Seljuq Empire, Ahmadil ibn Ibrahim. A female member of the family, Sulafa Khatun, was ruling Maragheh until these places were sacked by the Mongols in 1221.
