Khorshidi dynasty

The Khorshidi dynasty (Lurish: Atabakan Luristan or Xoršidian) (Persian: لر کوچک‎, Lor-e kūchek) was a dynasty that ruled Little Lorestan between 1184 and 1597 [1][2] from Khorramabad.[3] The dynasty stemmed from the Jangardi tribe (Jangrūʾī or Jangardī).[3]

The rulers of Khorshidi dynasty were called Atabegs, with the word Atabeg resulting from the combination of the Turkish "ata" meaning "father", and "beg"/"bek"/"bak" meaning "great"/"big".[4] After the death of Hessameddin, Shuja' al-din Khurshid became the independent ruler of the entirety of Little Luristan. After Shuja' al-din Khurshid, a dynasty of his successors ruled Little Luristan. These Lurs formed the local dynasty of Atabakan-e-Luristan (1184-1597), during the Seljuk era, with the last governor of that dynasty, Shahverdi Khan, being executed by Shah Abbas the Great, thereby terminating the Khorshidi dynasty.[5] Shah Abbas then assigned Hossein Beyg (also known as Hossein Khan) of the Silvizi clan, the nephew of Shahverdi Khan, and grandson of Jahangir Atabeg, to rule over Little Lorestan, thus replacing the Khorshidi dynasty with a Lorish dynasty known as the Vāli/Wāli dynasty in 1597.[5][6]
