Buyyid Daylamite Dynasty
Buyyids were originally Daylamites from Gilan state of Iran. Buyyid Dynasty started by 3 Gilak brothers. They have managed to gain control of a great number of Iranian states and even taken over Baghdad. Their mistake was not eliminating the Arab Caliphate in Baghdad. Instead, the Buyyids allowed Caliph to remain as a puppet ruler and they recognized Caliph’s authority. While Caliph remained as an authority figurehead, Buyyids ruled the state. This action caused the delay of the establishment of a steady, continuous and powerful Persian rule in the region.
Buyyid (Daylamite) Dynasty (932 - 1055) had 3 branches ruled by 3 brothers:
Reign of Fars
