The Evli Beden or Ulu Beden Tower in the southern city walls of Amid, built in 1208 during the Artuqid period by Nasir al-Din Artuq Arslan, whose name appears in the inscription.[2][3]

Nasir al-Din Artuq Arslan (ruled 1200-1239) was a ruler of the Artuqids of Mardin.[4] The "Mardin branch" of the Artuqids ruled in Mardin and Mayyafariqin from 1101–1409, and were primarily descendants of Ilghazi and his brother Alp-Yaruq.

On the reverse of his coins dated AH 628 (1230 CE), Artuq Aslan inscribed the names of two overlords, the Abbasid Caliph al-Mustansir and the Ayyubid ruler al-Kamil.[5] At that time, the Ayyubids were allied with various Turkomans, including Artuq Aslan, in order to repel the offensive of the exiled Khwarazmshah ruler Jalal al-Din from his bases in Armenia. They defeated Jalal al-Din and his Artuqid ally Rukhun al-Din Mawud (cousin of Artuq Aslan) in 1230.[5]

Around 1234, Artuq Aslan changed his allegiance to the Seljuk Rums, fearing Ayyubid expansion.[5] The Ayyubids were defeated by the Seljuk Rums ruler Kayqubad I in 1234.[5] The Ayyubids renounced retribution against Artuq Aslan when they learnt of the Mongol invasion of Jazira from the east.[5]

The lands of the Artukid dynasty fell to the Mongol invasion sometime between 1235 and 1243. The Artuqids submitted to Mongol khan Hülegü and continued to govern as vassals of the Mongol Empire.[6][7]
