Mohammad Hossein Khan of Shaki
Mohammad Hossein Khan (died 1615) was a Safavid official and military leader, who briefly served as governor of Shaki in the Shirvan province, during the reign of king (shah) Abbas I (r. 1588–1629).[1]
He was appointed as governor of Shaki around the time of Abbas I's punitive campaign in Georgia.[1] He was a descendant of the Shirvanshahs, and also functioned as the head of the Turkoman Zhul-Qadr tribe in Iraq and the Azerbaijan province, as his mother hailed from the tribe.[1] In 1615, during the revolt in Georgia against the Safavid rule, Mohammad Hossein Khan was killed.[2]
