The Eshaqvand Dynasty (Persian: اسحاقوندان, romanized: Esḥāqvandān), also known as the Eshaqiyyeh (Persian: اسحاقیه), was a local dynasty ruling in Western Gilan (Bīa-pas), which is west of the Sefid-Rud River. The dynasty would go on to survive well into the Safavid period, when both it and its eastern counterpart, the Kar-Kiya, would be removed.[1] The Eshaqvand were Shafi'i Sunnis, who claimed descent from the Ashkanids or from Isaac.[2]
Formation and Early Years[edit]
In the period before the Karkiya arrival, Gilan was divided among many different figures. The Eshaqvands, based in Fuman, were one of the many powers in Gilan. The district of Shaft was a dependency of Fuman.[2] The Eshaqvands and the rulers of Gaskar often fought.[2]
Consolidation of Bīa-pas[edit]
Conflicts in the 15th Century[edit]
By 1475/76, the Eshaqvands had eliminated the Tijaspis of Rasht.[2]
