Khan Ahmad Khan II Gilani (1537-1596) was the last king of the Kia’i dynasty in Gilan.In 1591 Shah Abbas asked Ahmad’s daughter to marry his son Safi Mirza since Ahmas had no male successor. Ahmad disagreed due to age of his daughter. This and some other economic factors caused a Safavid raid in 1591 and Ahmad escaped to Ottoman territories and spent the rest of his life in Constantinople and Baghdad spending fruitless attempts to return to power.
