Afridun II was a Shah of Shirvan. [1] He may have ruled during a time in Shirvanshah history that scholarship has referred to "a period of total confusion", due to the lack of written records and contradictory numismatic evidence. [2] He was a son of Shirvanshah Manuchihr III ( r. 1120 – after 1160). He had had three brothers, Akhsitan I, Farrukhzad I, and Shahanshah. [3] He might not have even ruled. He left no numismatic evidence but known from his son Fariburz II's coins.
