Bayar II

Bayar or Baysar, also Bayar-Abbas, Bayrampas (Avar: Байcар, Байар, 12th-century), was an Avar nutsal (ruler), who ruled in the 12th century and the son of previous ruler Surakat I.

After the inhabitants of Khunzakh converted to Islam, they were ruled by one of the descendants of Sheikh Ahmad named Masum bek, who was replaced by Sheikh Abu Muslim with the titles of Imam, wali and hakim. Bayar, who fled to Georgian lands recruited an army there and periodically attacked the Arabs. Thus, with varying success the struggle lasted for 40 years, until the Muslims finally gained the upper hand.
