Javidhan was an
Iranian landlord and leader of one of the two
Khurramite movements in
Azerbaijan, with his headquarters being in
Badhdh.[1][2] The leader of the other Khurramite movement was a certain Abu Imran, who often clashed with Javidhans forces. During one of the clashes, in probably the early 810s, Abu Imran was defeated and killed, whilst Javidhan was mortally wounded, dying three days later. Javidhan was succeeded by his apprentice
Babak Khorramdin, who also married Javidhan's widow.[3] Javidhan was survived by a son, who was most likely too young to succeed him.[3]
