Buyidball or the Buyids, also known as Buwaihids, Bowayhids, Buyahids, or Buyyids, was a Shia Iranian dynasty of Daylamite origin. Coupled with the rise of other Iranian dynasties in the region, the approximate century of Buyid rule represents the period in Iranian history sometimes called the 'Iranian Intermezzo' since, after the Muslim conquest of Persia, it was an interlude between the rule of Abbasidball and the Seljuk Empireball.

History

The Buyid dynasty was founded by 'Ali ibn Buya, who in 934 conquered Farsball and made Shirazball its capital, while its younger brother Hasan ibn Buya conquered parts of Jibal in the late 930s, and by 943 managed to capture Ray, which it made its capital. In 945, the youngest brother, Ahmad ibn Buya, conquered Iraqball and made Baghdadball its capital, receiving the honorific title of "Mu'izz al-Dawla" ("Fortifier of the State"), while 'Ali was given the title of "'Imad al-Dawla" ("Support of the State"), and Hasan was given the title of "Rukn al-Dawla" ("Pillar of the State"). As Daylamite Iranians the Buyids consciously revived symbols and practices of Iran's Sassanidball. In fact, beginning with 'Adud al-Dawla they used the ancient Sassanidball title Shahanshah, literally "king of kings". At its greatest extent, the Buyid dynasty encompassed most of today's Iranball, Iraqball and Kuwaitball, along with parts of Omanball, and the UAEball. During the 10th and 11th centuries, just prior to the invasion of the Seljuq Turks, the Buyids were the most influential dynasty in the Middle East, and under king 'Adud al-Dawla, became briefly the most powerful dynasty in the Middle East.
