Turan. She is also the second and favourite wife of
Siyâvash, the saintlike
prince of
Iran (Siyâvash's first wife was
Juraira daughter of

Shah of Iran,

Life Although a
Turanian by birth, Farangis shows loyalty to her husband's kingdom and dynasty. She accompanies her son when he leaves
Turan in the hopes of gathering an Iranian army to avenge Siyâvash. After the murder of her husband Siyâvash and being left with her son Kai Khosrow, Farangis mourns him for a year. The dignitaries at the court of King Kavus try to console her. They promise that her brother-in-law Fariborz will avenge the murder of his brother. Further, they present Fariborz as a suitable husband for her. Aided by Rostam, Fariborz takes Farangis to his seraglio. ==References==
