| Additional information |
The Injuids of Fars governed as Ilkhanate vassals for decades before Abū Isḥāq seized the opportunity created by the Ilkhanate's disintegration after the death of Abū Sa'īd in 1335 to rule as a fully independent sovereign. His Shiraz court became a genuine cultural center — the poet Hafez composed under his patronage — but the political situation was consistently precarious, with the Muzaffarid dynasty pressing hard from the east throughout the 1340s.
Abū Isḥāq was ultimately captured and executed by the Muzaffarids in 1357, making this issue from Shiraz one of the later independent strikes before the dynasty's extinction.
