Sayf al-Din Hamid was the eponymous founder of the Hamidids in southwestern Anatolia. He and his tribe originally inhabited northern Syria and later migrated to Anatolia, where he served under the Sultanate of Rum by giving military training to the ruler Kayqubad I's children and army. In 1240, Kayqubad's successor Kaykhusraw II granted him land around Isparta and Burdur as the local frontier commander.[1]
