Qarin I (Persian: کارن), was the eighth ruler of the Bavand dynasty from 839 to 867.
Biography
His brother,
Tahirids, however, Qarin managed to reclaim his domains from Mazyar. During the same period, Mazyar was betrayed by his brother Quhyar, and was sentenced to death in Baghdad. In 842, Qarin converted to Islam,[1][2]
where he was rewarded with the title of Abu'l-Muluk.
In the 860s, western Iran was governed by the Tahirid
Zaydid rule in Tabaristan, and allied himself with Sulayman ibn Abdallah ibn Tahir against Hasan, but was defeated by Hasan in a battle, who had Qarin's domains devastated and his brother Ja'far ibn Shahriyar killed. Qarin then had to swear loyalty to the Zaydids and send his two sons Surkhab ibn Qarin and Maziar ibn Qarin as hostages to the Zaydid court, but quickly mutinied against Hasan, and in 868, he was forced to flee to Kumis.[1] Qarin I died in 867, and was succeeded by his son or grandson Rustam I
