their subordinate status was made formal years before (1301/2) by the inception of the kharaj tax, an annual tax on Christians . The requirement of the blue badge, kerchief, or hat, to set the Christians apart from Kuslims was observed by the Bavarian captive, Johann Schiltberger around 1400, and so was a feature of the entire 14th 2 century . With the breakdown of the IlrKhanid government in the 1330*8, various Turkmen, Mongol, and Kurdish bands became completely unchecked. For example, in 1343, the Qara Qoyunlu (Black Sheep) Turkmens (who had established bases in Bagrewand and Kajberunik* in the late 13th century) were ceaselessly raiding around Hat . The Spanish Muslim traveller Ibn Battuta in 1333 noted that Karin/Erzerum was "mostly in ruins as a consequence of a factional feud which broke out between two groups of Turkmens there"4. During the 1330's and 1340's, the cities of Ersnjan, Sebastia/Sivas, and Karin/Erzerum were under almost constant seige by rival nomadic groups . SA p. 165. JS p. 74. 14CC p. 334. Battuta p. 437. SA pp. 167-69. 212
Hat* was captured by Turkmans in 1359 . Furthermore, in the 1380'a, Ximur'a detachoenta frequently battled with Qara Qoyunlu and Kurdish groups. In the Capaljur and Hui areas and near Karin/Erzerum, the Turkmene - - 2 successfully reaiated Timur's advance . In 1382 Turkmen groups were fighting in the plain of Artac . During his second invasion (1395) Timur raided Turkmen areaa centered at ArSea on lake Tan'a northern shore . Concomitant with the chaos occasioned by warring nomads went persecution of Christians—especially of the clerical nobility. In 1387/88, Step'annos, archbishop of Sebaatia/Sivas was executed for failure to convert. His monastery of St. Nsan was converted into a dervish sanctuary, and other churches there were demolished . In 1393/94, kat'otikos Zak'aria of Alt'amar and the kat'otikos of Sia, T'eodoros both were executed . Between SA p. TM P. 21. SA p* 170. TM pp. 46-47. ANJJ PP. 144-45. SA p. 172. 213
