Dynasty

Family tree of Derbendis, including reigning shahs (with gold crown) and pretenders (in silver crown) and Tamerlane's dynasty.

Moreover, there were at least three pretenders - Mehrab, Qorban Ali Mirza, Qasem Mirza who claimed to have descended from Shirvanshah dynasty. However their exact relationship is unknown. Although Tārīkh-i Quṭb-i Shāhīyah claims a certain prince called Hamza was a son of Farrukh Yassar who took part in a campaign during reign of Ahmad Jalayir,[3] this is chronologically impossible.
