Kakuyids
The Kakuyids were a Daylamite dynasty that ruled in western and central Iran in the 11th and 12th centuries. Its founder, Ala al-Dawla Muhammad, governed Isfahan and Hamadan from about 1008, and the philosopher Avicenna served at his court. After the Seljuk conquest the family kept Yazd as Seljuk vassals until about 1141, when its heiresses passed under the atabegs who founded the Atabegs of Yazd.
