Hasanwayh

10th-century Kurdish ruler

Biography

Hasanwayh (also spelled Hasanuya), Hasanwayh Al-Kurdi also known as Abu'l-Fawaris, was the Kurdish ruler and founder of the Hasanwayhid dynasty, ruling from 961 to 979.

Hasanwayh supported the Buyids against the Samanids which enabled him in gaining some power. He would ultimately control much of Lorestan, Dinavar, Nahavand, Daquq, Shahrazur and Hamadan and was powerful to such degree in which the Buyids refrained from disturbing him. The influence of Hasanwayh reached Azerbaijan.
