Occupation of Shiraz (Shīrāz) by the Muẓaffarids |
The Inju’ids derived their name from the fact that the founder of this short line, Sharaf al-Dīn Maḥmūd, was sent to Fars by the Il Khan Öljeytü to administer the royal states there (called in Turkish, and thence in Mongolian, injü). During Abū Sa‘īd’s reign, he consolidated his power at Shiraz and made himself virtually the independent ruler of Fars before being executed by the new Il Khān, Arpa Ke’ün (see above, no. 133). His sons squabbled over possession of Fārs, and when the last one, Jamāl al-Dīn Abū Isḥāq, tried to extend his power to Yazd and Kirman, he came up against the Muẓaffarids (see above, no. 140), who captured Shiraz in 754/1353, the fugitive Abū Isḥāq being killed shortly afterwards.
