son, Mangti Timur, to Acysha, the daughter of
Saud, the son of Attabeg Abu Bekr. She pre
sided at Shiraz to the day of her death, a.h. 686 ;
after which, no claimant of the race of Selgher ap
peared for the dominions ruled by this princess.
The Luristan Attabegs were frequently called
Hazaraspides, and had for their founder a person
named Abu Taher: and their power ended in Afra-

It was some time in the year of the Hejira 615
that the greatest, but at the same time the cruellest

in Europe under the name of Assassins.
On the ruin of these sprang up that of Eylkhau-
nian sovereigns; so called from Shaikh Husain
Bazurg, or Shaikh Husain the Great, Eylkhaunee.
The last monarch of this family was Ahmed Sultan;
who was put to death at Tauris, in the year of the
Hejira 812.
It was during the reign of this prince, a.d. 1384,
