The Muzaffarid Sultanate was a historical state in Persia, established in the 14th century by the Muzaffarid dynasty. It emerged after the decline of the Ilkhanate and was centered in the region of Fars, which is in present-day Iran. The sultanate is known for its contributions to Persian culture, art, and architecture during its brief existence. The Muzaffarid rulers were notable for their patronage of literature and the arts, fostering a vibrant cultural environment. The sultanate faced challenges from rival powers, including the Timurid Empire, which ultimately led to its decline in the late 15th century.
