Shirvanshah Keykubad I
Kayqubad (, died 1348) was the 31st ruler of Shirvan. Reign His rule was dominated by Chobanid overlordship. According to Munejjimbashi, he was a son of Farrukhzad II. This view was shared by other historians like Bakikhanov, Bidlisi, Rumlu and others, according to Sara Ashurbeyli. Edward von Zambaur and Barthold proposed 1317 as start date for Kayqubad's reign, however there is no concrete evidence for this. According to Abd al-Razzaq Samarqandi, Malek Ashraf offered to take her daughter's hand, however his son Kavus, who was already in a position of co-ruler refused this. His name disappears from records around 1348, which is considered his possible death date. Keygubad Mosque is considered to be made on his order.

Shah
Shāh (; ) is a royal title meaning "king" in the Persian language.Yarshater, Ehsa, ''Iranian Studies'', vol. XXII, no. 1 (1989) Though chiefly associated with the monarchs of Iran, it was also used to refer to the leaders of numerous Persianate societies, such as the Ottoman Empire, the Khanate of Bukhara and the Emirate of Bukhara, the Mughal Empire, the Bengal Sultanate, and various Afghan dynasties, as well as among Gurkhas. With regard to Iranian history, in particular, each ruling monarch was not seen simply as the head of the concurrent dynasty and state, but as the successor to a long line of royalty beginning with the original Persian Empire of Cyrus the Great. To this end, he was more emphatically known as the Shāhanshāh ( ), meaning " King of Kings" since the Achaemenid dynasty. A roughly equivalent title is Pādishāh (; ), which was most widespread during the Muslim period in the Indian subcontinent. Etymology The word descends from Old Persian ...

However, Malek Ashraf then unexpectedly killed a nobleman named amir Haji Shahriman and his son in Karabakh. Kavus was horrified and immediately returned to Shirvan.
