What factors and contexts caused some Atabakans of the Lure Bozorg to revolt against the rule of the Ilkhanids and face their punitive campaigns? What were the consequences of these campaigns? The findings show that: The political situation and the unhealthy situation of the court and the power vacuum caused by the death of Arghun and some other factors, reduced the authority of the patriarchal government and the revolt of Atabak Afrasiab. His unbridled oppression and invasion of other lands in order to oppose the Mongol rule and kill the Mongols provoked the wrath of the Ilkhanid court. Troops sent to Lure Bozorg, beyond a domestic mission, looted people's property while killing people and capturing active labor. Their widespread attacks led to social unrest and the weakening of economic foundations and the decline of agriculture and related activities in the Lure Bozorg.
