Afridun II was a Shah of Shirvan.^[1] He may have ruled during a time in Shirvanshah history that scholarship has referred to "a period of total confusion", due to the lack of written records and contradictory numismatic evidence.^[2] He was a son of Shirvanshah Manuchihr III (r. 1120 – after 1160). He had had three brothers, Akhsitan I, Farrukhzad I, and Shahanshah.^[3] He might not have even ruled. He left no numismatic evidence but known from his son Fariburz II's coins.
