Following the assasination of Yezdegird III in AD 651, Tabaristan was ruled by the Dābūyids (Dabwayids) for a little over a century, although hemidrachms and some very rare bronze issues were only struck in the latter half of the dynasty. Farrukhan, who is also called "the Great", repelled a great Muslim invasion under Yazid ibn Muhallab in 716-717 AD, and the dynasty continued to rule independantly until the muslim conquest of 761 AD.
