History
{{further information|Sogdia|Principality of Ushrusana}}From the fifth to the seventh century CE, Ushrusana was part of the territory of the Hephthalites, followed by the Western Turkic Khaganate after 560 CE.BOOK, Dani, Ahmad Hasan, Litvinsky, B. A., History of Civilizations of Central Asia: The crossroads of civilizations, A.D. 250 to 750, 31 December 1996, UNESCO, 978-92-3-103211-0, 260,weblink en, The Principality probably retained a certain level of autonomy throughout this period and was ruled directly by the afshins.The most famous afshin was Khaydhar ibn Kawus al-Afshin. Knowledge of the ruling family of Ushrusana is derived from the accounts by Muslim historians such as al-Tabari, al-Baladhuri, and Ya'qubi of the final subjugation of that region by the Abbasid Caliphate and the submission of its rulers to Islam.When the first Muslim invasion of Persia took place under Qutayba ibn Muslim (94-5/712-14), Ushrusana was inhabited by an Iranian population population.Kramers, J.H. "UsrÅ«shana". Encyclopaedia of Islam. Edited by: P. Bearman, Th. Bianquis, C.E. Bosworth, E. van Donzel and W.P. Heinrichs. Brill, 2007 The first invasion by the Muslims did not result in them controlling the area.According to the Encyclopedia of Islam:File:Bunjikat wall painting of goddess Nana.jpg|thumb|Bunjikat wall painting of goddess Nana, 8th-9th century.WEB, Monumental painting in the palace complex of Bunjikat, the capital of medieval ustrushana 8th - early 9th centuries - ArtRussianBooks.com,weblink www.artrussianbooks.com, ]](File:Osrushana, fighting figure with bow and spear (complete).jpg|thumb|Fighting figure with bow and spear, Osrushana.)However, during the reign of the caliph al-Mahdi (775-85) the Afshin of Oshrusana is mentioned among several Iranian and Turkic rulers of Transoxania and the Central Asian steppes who submitted nominally to him.Yaqubi, II, p.479. But it was not until Harun al-Rashid's reign in 794-95 that al-Fadl ibn Yahya of the Barmakids led an expedition into Transoxania and received the submission of the ruling afshin, KarÄkana,whose name, by inference from Tabari, III, p. 1066, was something like KharÄkana; according to GardÄ«zÄ« led. Habibi, p. 130 who had never previously humbled himself before any other potentate. Further expeditions were sent to Ushrusana by al-Ma'mÅ«n when he was governor in Merv and after he had become caliph. The afshin Kavus, son of the afshin KarÄkana who had submitted to al-Fadl ibn Yahya, withdrew his allegiance from the Muslims; but shortly after Ma'mun arrived in Baghdad from the East (817-18 or 819-20), a power struggle and dissensions broke out among the ruling family.Kawus' son afshin Khaydar became a general in the Abbasid army and fought against the Khurramites and their leader, Babak Khorramdin, in Azerbaijan (816-837). In 841, Khaydar was arrested in Samarra on suspicion of plotting against the Abbasids. A single location was used for the crucifixion of Khaydar, Maziyar, and Babak's corpses.BOOK, Donné Raffat, Buzurg Ê»AlavÄ«, The Prison Papers of Bozorg Alavi: A Literary Odyssey,weblink 1985, Syracuse University Press, 978-0-8156-0195-1, 85â, After his death, Ustrushana was Islamified; Khaydar had preserved temples from ruin.BOOK, Guitty Azarpay, Sogdian Painting: The Pictorial Epic in Oriental Art,weblink January 1981, University of California Press, 978-0-520-03765-6, 19â, There are indications that semi-autonomous Afshins continued to rule over the Ustrushana after control of the region was wrested from the Abbasids by the Saffarids and, soon after, the Samanid Empire.Notes
