This period has been named the "Iranian Intermezzo" as during the 9th to the 11th centuries it saw the rise of native Persian dynasties.
The Sallarid system was monarchical with a King at its head.
First King: Muhammad bin Musafir - reigned 919-941 (deposed by his family led by his two sons)
Last King: Musafir bin Ibrahim II - reigned 1050-1062
In 1062 the territory came under the suzerainity of the Seljuk Sultans and shortly afterwards fell to Ismaili control.

I'm reading old items from the years I was not here and always makes me happy finding our friend Warren teaching me, even years after his passing, on royal dynasties I was not familiar with. Especially in this area north of Iran. A few years back I bought a kindle book on the Kingdoms of Bactria and now intrigued by the Sallarids, too.
