Al-Marzuban
Al-Marzuban or Marzuban bin Rustam of Parim (Persian: مرزبان بن رستم پریمی), was the thirteenth ruler of the Bavand dynasty from 979 to 986. He was the son and successor of Rustam II. In some sources, his name was changed to Rustam ibn al-Marzuban, which caused confusion among the historians, and made them think that they were two people.
Biography
According to the historian
Ziyarid ruler Keikavus (who was of Bavandid descent), Sayyida Shirin was the niece of al-Marzuban.[1] There have been several confusions about the reign of the Bavandid kings after the death of Rustam II. In 986, al-Marzuban is not longer mentioned as the ruler of the Bavand dynasty, and a certain Sharwin III
is instead mentioned.
A certain
Persian scholar Al-Biruni
, visited the court of al-Marzuban.
Al-Marzuban probably reigned until 1006, when the Bavand dynasty was put to an end by the Ziyarid ruler
Muhammad ibn Rustam Dushmanziyar
in 1028, who may himself have been of Bavandid descent.
