Reign

Born as Khalil, after the death of his father, he assumed the regnal name of Khalilullah II in 1524. He was married to Ismail I's daughter, and Tahmasp I's sister Parikhan Khanum (not to be mistaken for Tahmasp's daughter Pari Khan Khanum)^[2] on 4 October 1521.

Relations with Safavids

After death of Ismail I, the new shah Tahmasp I was suspicious towards the new shirvanshah. This suspicion had grown when the latter gave asylum to a traitor to the Safavids - Gilan ruler Sultan Muzaffar. However, before demanding a pardon, Khalilullah died unexpectedly without issue, and was succeeded by Farrukh Yassar II.
