Jamshid Khan
Jamshid Khan was a 17th-century Safavid military officer and official. Of "unclear origins", he was the son of a certain Hajji Manuchehr Khan, a gholam and sometime governor of Shirvan and Astarabad. Jamshid Khan served as the commander of the élite gholam corps (qollar-aghasi) in 1663-1667, and as the governor (hakem) of Semnan in 1646-1656 and of Astarabad (beglarbeg) in 1656-1664.[upper-alpha 1] Especially due to the high office of qollar-aghasi, Jamshid Khan yielded considerable influence in the Safavid state which was evident by the later tenure of grand vizier Mirza Mohammad Karaki (1661-1691) when the latters' power trailed that of Jamshid Khan. He died in 1667.
Notes
- ↑ According to Willem Floor, the date of when Jamshid Khan's tenure as governor of Astarabad ended is not entirely certain, and could have stretched up to 1666.
