Keykavus (Persian: کیکاوس) was the 30th ruler of Shirvan. He was the second son of Akhsitan III.
Reign
He was mentioned as "Malik" in an inscription on Pir Husayn Khanqah dated June 1294. He hasn't left any numismatic evidence.[1] According to disputed[2] Letters of Rashid-al-Din Hamadani, his daughter was married to Rashidaddin's eldest son Amir Ali and describes him as "the ruler of Shabaran and Shamakhi"[3] and even invited him to his estate in Fathabad.[4] Otherwise, he is not known to historiography.
