Sarbadar Movement (1340s, Khorasan)

Timeline

1. 1341–1343Sabzevar · KhorasanAfter the successive murders of the founding brothers 'Abd al-Razzaq and 'Abd al-'Aziz, Vajih al-Din 'Ali established leadership in Sabzevar in the early 1340s, integrating local armed forces and religious followers under the banner of the 'sarbadar' (those who bear the burden/martyrs) to rally anti-Mongol forces.
2. 1344–1348Eastern Khorasan · KhorasanIn the mid-1340s, the Sarbadars repeatedly fought the Kartid dynasty of Herat and remnant Mongol/Tatar forces around Nishapur and Sabzevar. The movement attracted lower-class people with radical social policies and religious reform, while competing with neighboring rival regimes for control of trade routes and agricultural areas.
3. 1349–1350Nishapur · KhorasanBy around 1350, the Sarbadar regime under Vajih al-Din 'Ali maintained relatively stable autonomy in the Sabzevar–Nishapur corridor, becoming a distinctive political experiment in eastern Khorasan alongside the Kartids, Chobanids, and other powers in the post-Ilkhanid era, until Timur's conquest in the 1380s.
