Muzaffarids

The Muzaffarids were a Persianized Sunni dynasty based at Yazd. In 1337 Mubariz al-Din Muhammad ruled it as an effectively independent prince amid the Ilkhanate's collapse.

He conquered Kerman in 1340 and overthrew the Injuids in 1353, making Shiraz his capital. In 1358 his son Shah Shoja blinded and imprisoned him. After Shah Shoja died in 1384, family feuds invited Timur's intervention: in 1393 he defeated Shah Mansur at Shiraz, executed the remaining princes and absorbed their lands.
