The Muzaffarid dynasty was a Persian dynasty that ruled parts of Iran during the 14th century. Founded by Muzaffar al-Din Shah, the dynasty emerged after the decline of the Ilkhanate and was known for its contributions to Persian culture and architecture. The Muzaffarids were based in the region of Fars and played a significant role in the political landscape of the time. The dynasty is particularly noted for its patronage of the arts, including poetry and architecture. The most famous structure from this period is the Jameh Mosque of Yazd, which showcases the intricate tile work and design typical of Persian architecture. The Muzaffarids eventually fell to the Timurid Empire in the late 15th century.
