thumb|Aras Khan|Aras Khan Rumlu on horse in the Siege of Shamakhi, 9–11 November 1578. [[Secaatname (1586)]] thumb|Aras Khan|Aras Khan Rumlu captured by a [[Crimean Khanate warrior of Adil Giray, in November 1578. Şeca'atname (1598)]] The Rumlu were one of the Azerbaijani speaking Qizilbash Turkoman tribes that were active during the Safavid period.
A famous Rumlu was Div Sultan Rumlu who was appointed by Shah Ismail as tutor () of his son Tahmasp. When the ten-year-old Tahmasp ascended the throne after his father's death, Div Sultan Rumlu was the de facto ruler of the realm. Rule by a member of the Rumlu tribe was unacceptable to the other Turkoman tribes of the Qizilbash, especially the Ustajlu and Takkalu.
