Hasan Beg Rumlu
Hasan Beg Rumlu (, 1530 or 1531 – ) was a 16th-century Safavid historian and military officer. A cavalryman of the '' qurchi'' corps, he is principally known for his chronicle of Safavid history; the ''Aḥsân al-Tavârikh''. Biography Most information about Hasan Beg's life stems from his own work, the ''Aḥsān al-tavārikh'', which he completed in 1578. He was born in Qom, a member of the Turkoman Rumlu tribe, and the grandson of Amir Soltan Rumlu, a prominent Qizilbash lord who served during the reign of King (''Shah'') Ismail I (). Hasan Beg's Qizilbash background makes him "somewhat unique in the annals of Safavid historiography". After his grandfather's death in 1539 or 1540, Hasan Beg found himself unable to gain command over his grandfather's army, because, according to his own explanation, "he was busy with his unpleasant duties as a '' qurchi''". Though a military officer, Hasan Beg "received the sort of training that was typical of a Persian administrator ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Haydar Mirza Safavi
Haydar Mirza Safavi ( fa, حیدر میرزا صفوی, also spelled Haidar Mirza Safavi) was a Safavid prince, who declared himself as the king (shah) of Iran on 15 May 1576, the following day after his father Tahmasp I had died. He was, however, during the same day killed by the Qizilbash tribes that favored his brother Ismail Mirza Safavi as the successor of their father. His mother was Sultanzadeh Khanum, a Georgian lady. Biography Haydar Mirza was born on 18 September 1554 to Tahmasp I and Sultanzadeh Khanum, a Georgian lady.

People From Qom
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

Mohammad Khodabanda (also spelled Khodabandeh; fa, شاه محمد خدابنده, born 1532; died 1595 or 1596), was the fourth Safavid shah of Iran from 1578 until his overthrow in 1587 by his son Abbas I. Khodabanda had succeeded his brother, Ismail II. Khodabanda was the son of Shah Tahmasp I by a Turcoman mother, Sultanum Begum Mawsillu, and grandson of Ismail I, founder of the Safavid dynasty. After the death of his father in 1576, Khodabanda was passed over in favour of his younger brother Ismail II. Khodabanda had an eye affliction that rendered him nearly blind, and so in accordance with Persian Royal culture could not contend for the throne. However, following Ismail II's short and bloody reign Khodabanda emerged as the only heir, and so with the backing of the Qizilbash tribes became Shah in 1578. Khodabanda's reign was marked by a continued weakness of the crown and tribal infighting as part of the second civil war of the Safavid era. An important figure in the ...
