Introduction
Farangis is the daughter of King Afrasiyab of Turan, given in marriage to the exiled Iranian prince Siyavash, and, after his execution by her own father, the mother of Kay Khosrow, raised in danger and secrecy within her father's own kingdom.
Family
- Father: Afrasiyab
- Husband: Siyavash
- Son: Kay Khosrow
Marriage to Siyavash
When Siyavash took refuge in Turan, Afrasiyab, impressed by his character, gave him Farangis in marriage, a union that briefly promised to ease the long hostility between Iran and Turan.
Widowhood and danger
After Siyavash's execution, ordered by Farangis's own father Afrasiyab under the influence of his brother Garsiwaz's schemes, Farangis, pregnant with Kay Khosrow, found herself in a precarious position within her father's court. The loyal vizier Piran Viseh protected her and her infant son for years, shielding them from further harm despite his own service to Afrasiyab.
Rescue and return to Iran
Farangis and the young Kay Khosrow were eventually rescued and brought safely to Iran by the hero Giv, son of Goudarz, allowing her son to grow up in safety and eventually claim the Iranian throne and avenge his father's death.
