Hasanak the Vizier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amir Hasanak-e Vizir (Persian: حسنک وزیر) (about 995-1077) was a famous 11th century vizier in Ghaznavid Empire of Persia. He served for Mahmud of Ghazni and was killed by stoning while an iron helmet covered his head and face during Mas'ud I of Ghazni. His official charge was infidelity which was a politically motivated charge.
His execution has been documented in Persian literature specially by Abolfazl Beyhaghi.
