Bedr Khan Beg
Badr Khan Beg or Bedirxan Beg (1803 in Cizre – 1868) was the last Kurdish emir and mutesellim of the Bohtan Emirate.
He began to lose his power due to the centralist policies of the Ottoman Empire, which culminated in the Tanzimat Edict of 1839 and its application the following year.
After allying himself with Nurallah of Hakkari and Ismael Pasha of Amadiya, he declared war on the Assyrians. Pressure from the European powers led the Ottomans into invading his territories and deporting him to Crete in 1850.[1]
