Kerman

Kerman was a province on the southeastern Iranian plateau, ruled from the city of Kerman. With the Ilkhanate collapsing, governor Qutb al-Din ibn Nasir held it in 1337.

In 1340 the Muzaffarid Mubariz al-Din Muhammad seized Kerman. Qutb al-Din briefly recovered it with Kartid help, then lost it again. Kerman passed to Timur in 1393; it later prospered under the Safavids, but the Qajars' bloody sack of the city in 1794 ended that prosperity for a time.
