Key Historical Periods & Rulers:

Samanid Empire (819–999 CE)

2. Nasr I (864–892) – Officially recognized by the Caliph as ruler of Transoxiana, with Samarkand as the initial capital.
3. Ismail I (892–907) – The true consolidator; defeated rival Saffarids at the Battle of Balkh (900), establishing firm control over Khorasan and moving the capital to Bukhara, beginning the dynasty's golden age.
4. Ahmad ibn Ismail (907–914) – Maintained the empire but was assassinated.
5. Nasr II (914–943) – Presided over the cultural and scientific zenith; patronage of Rudaki, al-Biruni, and others. Faced internal religious revolts.
6. Nuh I (943–954) – Crushed a militant Shi'a revolt; faced growing military and financial challenges.
7. Abd al-Malik I (954–961) & Nasr III (961–976) – Period of stability but increasing power of Turkic military commanders (ghilmans).
8. Nuh II (976–997) – Saw the catastrophic loss of Khorasan to the rising Ghaznavids (994) and major incursions by the Karakhanids from the north.
9. Mansur II (997–999) & Abd al-Malik II (999) – Puppet rulers under Turkic generals; the empire disintegrated and was partitioned between the Ghaznavids (south) and the Karakhanids (north) in 999.

Aftermath (999 CE onward) – The Persian Renaissance fostered by the Samanids was carried on, in different forms, by their successors, the Ghaznavid and later Seljuk Empires.
