Bustanai (d. 660/5) was the first Exilarch to be recognized by Arab rule.His birth and much of his life is surrounded by legend. As a token ofappreciation, Caliph Ali gave him the daughter of the Persian kingYazdeger (Yazadagird III of Parthia) for a slave. Eventually Bustanaimarried her.
His first wife, Adoa, a Davidic Jewish Princess (relative), had two sons:Hisdai I & Baradai;
His 2nd wife, Dara or Azdadwar Izdundad or Izdadwar. The Parthi Princess,had three sons: (a) Hisdai II, (b) Nehemiah, and (c) Haninai [Hananiah],who was "exilarch" of Sura 689-694. See 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 family treesdescending from Haninai. The descendants of Haninai appear to occupy thegaonate of Sura for seVeral generations and may also be ancestors of theMaharal of Prague. (However, according to Rinnah Burnsdburns60@neo.rr.com, their three sons were Shahrijar, Durdanshah, andMardanshah. Source: Arthur J.
