He was a patron of the arts and an accomplished [[Calligraphy\|calligrapher]], poet, and anthologist in his own right. ==Biography== Mahmud Mirza was the fifteenth son of Qajar ''[[shah]]'' [[Fath-Ali Shah]] ({{reign\|1797\|1834}}), born by his [[Iranian Jews\|Jewish]] wife, known as [[Maryam Khanom]]. From [[Mazandaran province\|Mazandaran]], she is said to have been a great beauty. Mahmud Mirza was Maryam Khanom's eldest son and was considered her most accomplished. His other full siblings who survived to adulthood included [[Zia ol-Saltaneh]], Soltan Begom ({{died-in\|1826}}), Homayun Mirza ({{died-in\|1851}}), Ahmad-Ali Mirza ({{born-in\|1804}}), and [[Jahanshah Mirza]] ({{died-in\|1835}}).{{sfn\|Brookshaw\|2006a}}{{sfn\|Brookshaw\|2006b}} Mahmud Mirza grew up in the household of [[Mirza Shafi Mazandarani]] ({{died-in\|1819}}), his mentor and then grand vizier to Fath-Ali Shah. In 1813, Mahmud Mirza was given the governorship of [[Nahavand County\|Nahavand]], followed by the governorship of [[Lorestan province\|Lorestan]] in 1825. He soon established himself as a patron of the arts, inviting many poets and men of letters to join his provincial residence at Nahavand, including the court historian [[Mohammad Taqi Sepehr\|Mohammad Taqi "Lesan ol-Molk" Sepehr]]. Mahmud Mirza also ordered the construction of majestic buildings in Nahavand, amongst them the Ru'in-dez fortress, the Kakh-e Homayun palace, a ''[[madraseh]]'' for his son Siyavash Mirza, and a garden known as the ''Bagh-e Shah''; however, only a minimal traces of these buildings have survived to this day.{{sfn\|Brookshaw\|2006a}} Line 35: After the death of Fath-Ali Shah, Mahmud Mirza opposed the accession of his nephew (and Fath-Ali Shah's grandson) [[Mohammad Shah Qajar]] ({{reign\|1834\|1848}}). As a result, Mahmud Mirza was incarcerated, along with other rebel princes, in [[Ardabil]] and later in [[Tabriz]]. He apparently died at some point between 1854 and 1858, during the reign of Mohammad Shah Qajar's son and successor, [[Naser al-Din Shah Qajar]]. Mahmud Mirza appears to have been buried in Nahavand—the site of his first governorship.{{sfn\|Brookshaw\|2006a}} ==References== {{sfn whitelist\|CITEREFBrookshaw2006a\|CITEREFBrookshaw2006b}} {{reflist}} ==Sources== {{commonscategory\|Mahmud Mirza Qajar}} * {{cite journal \|last1=Abe \|first1=Naofumi \|title=The Politics of Poetics in Early Qajar Iran: Writing Royal-Commissioned ''Tazkeras'' at Fath-ʿAli ~~Shāh’s~~Shāh's Court \|journal=Journal of Persianate Studies \|date=2017 \|volume=10 \|issue=2 \|pages=129–157 \|doi=10.1163/18747167-12341311}} * {{Encyclopædia Iranica Online\|last=Brookshaw\|first=Dominic Parviz\|title=MAḤMUD MIRZĀ\|url=https://iranicaonline.org/articles/mahmud-mirza\|year=2006a}} * {{Encyclopædia Iranica Online\|last=Brookshaw\|first=Dominic Parviz\|title=MARYAM KHANOM\|url=https://iranicaonline.org/articles/maryam-khanom\|year=2006b}} Line 45 ⟶ 46: [[Category:1799 births]] [[Category:1850s deaths]] [[Category:~~Qajar~~Children ~~princes~~of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar]] [[Category:Burials in Iran]] [[Category:Qajar governors]] Line 53 ⟶ 54: [[Category:19th-century Iranian poets]] [[Category:Anthologists]] [[Category:Qajar governors of Lorestan]] [[Category:19th-century Persian-language writers]]
