Mubariz al-Din Muhammad ibn al-Muzaffar
مبارز الدين محمد بن المظفر
Mubariz al-Din Muhammad ibn al-Muzaffar al-Yazdi, the true founder of Muzaffarid kingship; he took Kirman and its country, then coveting Fars raised the outcry against his nephew Abu Ishaq Amir Shaykh for killing a Shirazi sharif — the city, resentful of Amir Shaykh, opened to him, he took its throne, chased Abu Ishaq to Isfahan, seized it, hunted him down and killed him as qisas for the sharif; his four sons — Shah Wali, Mahmud, Shuja' and Ahmad — ruled after him until Timur exterminated the line.

Overview
Mubariz al-Din Muhammad ibn al-Muzaffar al-Yazdi, whom Ibn Khaldun describes as the true founder of the Muzaffarid kingdom. He overcame Kirman and its districts, then coveted Fars. 1
Fars
His nephew Abu Ishaq, amir Shaykh, killed a noble of Shiraz, a sharif. Mubariz al-Din objected to this and marched on the city. The people of the town inclined to him because of their aversion to Amir Shaykh, and he took its seat. Abu Ishaq fled to Isfahan; Mubariz followed him and took it, and then seized him, and killed him in retaliation for the sharif. 1
His sons
He had four sons: Shah Wali, Mahmud, Shuja' and Ahmad, who ruled after him. Then Timur uprooted their line. 1
