Fakr al-Din Shaddad ibn Mahmud was the Kurdish Shaddadid emir of Ani from sometime after 1131 until 1155.
Fakr al-Din Shaddad b. Mahmud spent most of his reign in attempts to fend off the resurgent Georgians.
To this end, he sought to forge a marital alliance with the Saltukids of Erzurum and even tried to sell them Ani, but he eventually defected the Saltukids to King Demetrius I of Georgia.
A revolt in Ani forced Fakr al-Din Shaddad into exile in the Ayyubid state in Syria.
His successor was his brother, Fadl V.[1] This biography of a member of a Middle Eastern royal house is a stub.
