Kayqubad (Persian: کیقباد یکم, died 1348) was the 31st ruler of Shirvan.
Reign[edit]
His rule was dominated by Chobanid overlordship. According to Munejjimbashi, he was a son of Farrukhzad II.[1] This view was shared by other historians like Bakikhanov, Bidlisi, Rumlu and others, according to Sara Ashurbeyli.[2] Edward von Zambaur[3] and Barthold proposed 1317 as start date for Kayqubad's reign, however there is no concrete evidence for this.
According to Abd al-Razzaq Samarqandi, Malek Ashraf offered to take her daughter's hand, however his son Kavus, who was already in a position of co-ruler refused this.[4] His name disappears from records around 1348, which is considered his possible death date.
Keygubad Mosque is considered to be made on his order.
Family[edit]
He had at least three children:
- Kavus (r. 1348 – 1372)
- Sultan Muhammad — ancestor of Darbandid branch, governor of Derbent, father of Ibrahim I[5]
- A daughter
