Fārūmādī

The Fārūmādī were a notable family of Sabzevar in western Khorasan, named after the nearby town of Fārūmād; under the Ilkhans, Khwaja Taher Faryumadi and his son were patrons of the poet Pur-Baha Jami. Their best-known member, 'Ala' al-Din Muhammad Faryumadi, governed Sabzevar, Juvain and part of Nishapur for the Ilkhanid claimant Togha Temür and served as his vizier.

His harsh taxation drove the local landowner 'Abd al-Razzaq to revolt in 1337, the rising that gave birth to the Sarbadar state. 'Ala' al-Din remained Togha Temür's vizier and fought the Sarbadars until he was killed in the khan's defeat near the Atrek river on 29 July 1342.
