The Principality of Khuttal (also spelled Khatlan and Khotlan) was a local Iranian dynasty, which ruled the Khuttal region from the early 7th century to 750. The rulers of the region were known by their titles of “Khuttalan Shah” (king of Khuttal), “Khuttalan Khudah” (lord of Khuttal), and “Shir-i Khutallan” (lion of Khuttal).^[1] The capital and residence of the rulers was in Hulbuk, close to the city of Kulob.^[1]
