Wikipedia description:
Yahya ibn Zayd (Arabic: يحيى بن زيد, romanized: Yaḥyā ibn Zayd; 725/6–743) was the eldest son of Zayd ibn Ali, the founder of the Zaydi movement. He participated in the unsuccessful revolt against the Umayyad Caliphate launched by his father in 739/40, and escaped to Khurasan, where he tried with limited success to gain support for another rebellion. In 743 he was tracked down and finally killed by forces of the Umayyad governor, Nasr ibn Sayyar.
