Rawwadid, Ravvadid (also Revend or Revendi), or Banū Rawwād (Arabic: بنو رَوّاد) (900–1071)[6] was a Sunni Muslim Kurdish[1][7] dynasty, centered in the northwestern region of Adharbayjan (Azerbaijan) between the late 8th and early 13th centuries.[1]

In the second half of the 10th century and much of the 11th century, the Rawwadids controlled much of Adharbayjan as well as parts of Armenia.[1]
