Amanullah Mirza Jahanbani

Amanullah Mirza Jahanbani (Persian: امان‌الله میرزا جهانبانی, <small>romanized:</small> Amanullah Mirza Jahanbani; 1869, Tehran - 1912, Tabriz) was an Iranian constitutionalist, general, statesman and a prominent prince of the Qajar dynasty. Jahanbani served as the senior officer of the Persian Cossack Brigade from 1885 till 1906, after which he served as a member of the 1st Iranian Majlis. He ultimately became the governor of Tabriz, a title which he held from 1909 until 1912, when the Russian occupation of Tabriz led to his suicide.

Early life

Amanullah Mirza Jahanbani was born in 1869 in Tehran, then home to the court of the Qajar dynasty. He was a paternal grandson of Seyfollah Mirza, the 42nd son of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar and his Georgian concubine, Golbadan Baji.

As a member of the nobility, he received a military-oriented education typical for Qajar princes during the late 19th century, which emphasized training influenced by Russian military models due to growing Russian influence in Persia.
