Kia'i dynasty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kia'i, Amīr Kīāʾī or Kar Kia dynasty were a Zaidi Shiʿite dynasty who ruled over Bia-pish (eastern Gilan) from 1389 to 1592. They claimed a Sasanian ancestry as well. They also helped Shah Ismail I establish the Safavid Empire and were later a vassal state of the Safavid Empire.[1] In the end the Safavid Empire destroyed the Kia'i dynasty.
