Fadlun ibn Fadl

Fadlun ibn Fadl, or Fadl III was the last ruler of the Shaddadids of Arran from Ganja.{{efn|" The last of the line to reign in Arrān was Fażlun b. Fażl (Fażl III), who usurped the emirate from his father in 1073."{{sfn|Peacock|2011}}}}{{sfn|Peacock|2011}} He ruled from 1073 to 1075, until the Seljuk Sultan Malik-Shah removed him from power,{{sfn|Bosworth|1968|p=95}} giving him Astarabad.{{sfn|Bosworth|1968|p=95}} The realm was then absorbed by the Great Seljuqs, placing Sav-Tegin as governor of Ganja.{{sfn|Bosworth|1968|p=95}}

Following the death of Sav-Tegin in 1085, Fadl instigated a revolt and gained possession of Ganja.{{sfn|Bosworth|1968|p=95}} Malik-Shah launched a campaign in 1086 and removed Fadl from power again.{{sfn|Bosworth|1968|p=95}} Ebn al-Aṯir mentions a Fadl then died in poverty in Baghdad in 1091, but if it was him or his father is in doubt. A collateral line of Shaddadids, through Manuchihr ibn Shavur, continued to rule in Ani.{{sfn|Bosworth|1968|p=95}}
