Definition
A military governor or powerful guardian of a young prince in the medieval Islamic world, especially in the Seljuk Empire.
Etymology
From Turkish 'atabeg', which combines 'ata' (father) + 'beg' (master/chief). The term originated in Central Asia and became prominent during the Seljuk period (11th-13th centuries).
Kelly Says
The atabeg was like a super-powerful guardian—literally 'father-master'—who could end up ruling entire regions while officially just babysitting a young heir, which sometimes worked out and sometimes created power struggles!
