Rawwadid, Ravvadid (also Revend or Revendi), or Banū Rawwād (Arabic: بنو رَوّاد) (900–1071)[4] was a Sunni Muslim Kurdish[1][5] dynasty, centered in the northwestern region of Adharbayjan (Azerbaijan) between the late 8th and early 13th centuries.[1]
Originally of Azdi Arab descent,[6] the Rawadids ruled Tabriz and northeastern Adharbayjan in the late 8th and early 9th centuries.[1] In the second half of the 10th century and much of the 11th century, these Kurdified descendants controlled much of Adharbayjan as well as parts of Armenia.[1]
