Sultan Mahmud was the 39th shah of Shirvan.
He was appointed as wali of Mahmudabad and Salyan by his grandfather Farrukh Yassar.[1]
He rebelled and killed his father Gazi Beg and declared himself shah. But he met resistance from local Shirvan people who rebelled against him in turn, and sent him into exile. Mahmud lived in the court of Ismail I in later years.
