The name Mardin was first mentioned by Ammianus Marcellinus, a Roman historians of the 4th century. Prokopius, the historian of Justinian I, referred to the city as Margdis as a second-degree fortress. The castle was seized in 640 by Islamic armies under the command of Iyaz bin Ganm. During this period, a dense Arab population settlement started in the region. During the Umayyad and Abbasid periods, Al Jazeera was in the territory of the governorship. In 750-751 years, the rebellion of Büreyke, the chief of the Benî Rebîa tribe belonging to the Harûriyye branch of the Hariciler who dominated Mardin, was the scene. Mardin castle was seized in 885 by Hamdan bin Hamdun, the founder of Hamdani dynasty. He was taken back by the Abbasid Caliph Mutezid in 894. The region, which then came under Hamdani rule again, changed hands frequently between Marwanis and Ukrainians from the end of the 10th century to the end of the 11th century.

In 1085, the region, including Mardin, came under Seljuk rule. Since then, the region has witnessed an intense Turkmen settlement. Mardin came under the rule of the Artuklu Principality in 1103 and later under the rule of the Artukites of Mardin, which was founded under the leadership of İlgazi Bey and ruled for nearly three centuries. During this period, the city developed quite brightly. In 1183, Saladin moved to the city but could not seize it. However, in 1185, the Mardin Artuklu Principality recognized the Ayyubid rule. In 1198 Adil I could not seize the castle, although the city had looted. The Ayyubid attacks in 1203 could also be resisted. Later, in accordance with the treaty, the Artukites of Mardin were subject to the Eyyubiler. The Mardin Artukites were subordinated to the Anatolian Seljuks during the reign of Alaeddin Keykubad I.
