Critique of the Thirteen-year History of Mazandaran (750-762 AH) in the Reports of Historical Sources of the Eighth Century AH

The eighth century historiography of Mazandaran is a reflection of the efforts of the Marashi dynasty in order to show events upside down and distorted. This kind of writing and attitude was republished by historians in later centuries. Therefore, the repetition of this method in historiography led to the "dominant narrative. The lack of attention of historians after Mirzahir to the details of the events presented by historians of the Timurid government and the author of the history of Royan led to the formation of a one-sided narrative on the history of the thirteen-year events of Mazandaran. A conception in which all sins are imposed on the Chalavi dynasty and the Marashians show their innocence. Based on data from all historical sources, it can be said that the founder of the Marashian government did not play a role less than Afrasiab Chalavi in the thirteen-year events of Mazandaran. Undoubtedly, he, who was involved in this series of events, eliminated other competitors with aexact plan. At the same time that the Marashi government was carrying out its political actions did not neglect its propaganda activities, but by fabricating a false story, it put all guilts the thirteen-year-old events on the shoulders of the defeated enemies. The ultimate goal of this propaganda was to discredit the opponents and create a charming image of the founder of the Marashi government. This distortion is fully reflected in the book of the history of Tabarestan by  Marashi and was unequivocally accepted by historians of later centuries.
