Ebrahim Afshar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ebrahim Shah Afshar (? – 1748) was king of Iran from July to September of 1748. He was Adil Shah's brother and Nader Shah's nephew. He toppled his brother in order to seize the power, and blinded him on July 6. However, only two months later his own troops rebelled against him, and slew him on September 24, thus ending his short reign. After him, Nader's grandson, Shahrokh was elected by the nobles to ascend to the throne.
