Chapter 5 (years 729/1329 to 783/1381). The Kartid state transitioned from being an Ilkhanid client state to an independent Persian kingdom. The death of the last Ilkhanid ruler of Persia, Abū Saʿīd, accelerated the unraveling of the Ilkhanate. Muʿizz al-Dīn Kart declared his polity was now a sultanate, and he tried to become the idealized model of a Tajik Padishah. He minted coins in his own name. The Sarbadar state, prominent in the Nishapur Quarter, was one of the new states to emerge from the chaos in Persia following Abū Saʿīd’s death. The Sarbadars aligned with a Sufi shaykh who had Shiʿa inclinations. Sarbadars and their Shiʿa allies marched on Herat in 743/1342, but were defeated by the Kartids. Muʿizz al-Dīn Kart, and ʿAlī Muʾayyad, the last Sarbadar leader, instituted détente and demarcated the boundaries between their adjoining kingdoms. Peace reigned.
