Person
Shuja al-Din Khurshid
Shuja al-Din Khurshid was a Lur chief who founded the Khorshidi dynasty of atabegs in Lesser Luristan, in the Zagros mountains of western Iran. Around 1184, as the Seljuk Sultanate of Iraq declined, he took control of the region north of the Karkheh. His descendants ruled from Khorramabad for about four centuries until Shah Abbas I ended their line.
