Bisotun in the context of Hasanwayhids

The Hasanwayhids or Hasanuyids (Kurdish: حەسەنوویییەکان) were a Twelver Shia Kurdish dynasty reigning the western parts of Iran such as Iranian Azerbaijan and Zagros Mountains between Shahrizor and Khuzestan from c. 959 to 1015. The last Hasanwayhid ruler died in 1015 in Sarmadj, south of Bisotun, as the Seljuks began entering the region.
