Farrukhzad II was the 28th ruler of Shirvan. He was a son of Akhsitan II who was executed by Hulagu in 1260.

Reign

[edit]

No numismatic evidence of his reign exists. He was probably a nominal ruler under Yoshmut, Mongol Viceroy of Arran and Azerbaijan under Hulagu and Abaqa. However, he left an epigraphic evidence dating 1266 with the title "As-sultan al-azim Abu-l-Fath Farrukhzad ibn Akhsitan ibn Fariburz ibn Garshasf" in a mosque of Pir Husayn Khanqah.[1] Another epigraphic mention of him was on Bibi-Heybat Mosque dated 1281.[2]
