Haytham II of Shirvan

Haytham II of Shirvan

Shah of Shirvan

Haytham II (Arabic: هيثم) was the third Shirvanshah after death of his father Muhammad I. Like his father and grandfather he was described as someone "who led numerous expeditions against the infidel".[1] His reign saw Islamization of the region and establishing granaries for the support of newly emerged Emirate of Derbent. According to Vladimir Minorsky, ultimate aim of Haytham could be turning Derbent a dependent vassal.[2] Haytham reportedly lived a long life but no other information about him surfaced.
