Shahanshah was the Shirvanshah from c. 1180 to c. 1203. [1]
He was a son of Shirvanshah Manuchihr III ( r. 1120 – after 1160). He had had three brothers, Akhsitan I, Afridun II, and Farrukhzad I. [2] It has been proposed that Manuchihr III may have divided his kingdom amongst his sons upon his death, [3] due to coin mints demonstrating the coinciding reign of Akhsitan I, Shahanshah, Afridun II and his son Fariburz II. [4] Afridun II and Fariburz II may have ruled in the western part of the kingdom, [5] while coin mints of Shahanshah demonstrate that he was based in Shamakhi. However, the latter has also been suggested to have been the successor of Akhsitan I. [3]
