Askajamuk II

Askajamuk II (died 8th-century) was the ruler of the


Afrighid dynasty of Khwarezm from 712 to an unknown
date. He was the relative and successor of Khusrau.
He was the son of king Azkajwar II, who is probably iden-
tical with the Afrighid ruler Jigan or Chigan, who became
a vassal of the Abbasids in 712. During the same year,
an anti-Abbasid rebellion broke out in Khwarazm, which
resulted in the death of Azkajwar II. Another Afrighid
prince named Khusrau was shortly put on the throne.
However, the Abbasids shortly invaded Khwarazm and
overthrew the latter and made Askajamuk II the new ruler
of the kingdom. Askajamuk II was later succeeded by his
son Sawashfan.
