Katoor Dynasty
The Katoor Dynasty (also spelled Katur and Kator) and its collateral branches ruled the ancient Kingdom of Chitral and its neighbours in the Eastern Hindukush Region for over four hundred fifty years. At the height of their power under Mehtar Aman-ul-Mulk (mehtar in Khowar means king) the territory controlled by the Mehtar of Chitral extended from Asmar in the Kunar Valley to Sher Qilla in the Gilgit Valley.〔http://www.royalark.net/Pakistan/chitral5.htm〕 The Mehtar of Chitral was an influential player in the power politics of the region as they acted as intermediaries between the Princes of Badakhshan, the Yousafzai Pashtuns, the Maharaja of Kashmir and later the Emirate of Afghanistan. The Katoor Mehtars also paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty of China until the mid-19th century.〔sunzi.lib.hku.hk/hkjo/view/26/2602579.pdf〕 Their economy largely relied upon the extraction of duties upon caravans travelling from Bokhara, Kashgar and Yarkand to the Punjab region. The Mehtars were also highly involved in the Central Asian Slave Trade. Following the Chitral Expedition of 1895, Chitral became a Princely State of the British Indian Empire. For the history of the Dynasty from 1895 onwards, refer to State of Chitral.
==Origins==
The name Katoor is an ancient one and has been in use long before the ancestor of the Katoors settled in Chitral in 1520. Theories include that it was a Kushan title of nobility.〔Khan, Hussain (1996) ''Proceedings of the Second International Hindukush Cultural conference'' p. 135〕 Katoor also means dragon in the archaic Bashgali dialect of Kohistani. The title of Shah Katoor was given to Mohtaram Shah, the first ruler of the house, by a local holy man who claimed that his bravery and integrity were reminiscent of the pre-Islamic Katoor rulers of the region.
