Zill-us-Sultan, Mas’ud
Mirza, G.C.S.I. (granted, September 1887, conferred, June 1888)
Born
5th January 1850. Is the eldest son of Nasir-ud-Din Shah, by
‘Iffat-us-Saltanah, an Afshar lady. His parentage on the mother’s side (the
‘Iffat-us-Saltanah not being a Royal Princess) always stood in the way of his
being declared heir to the throne: this position thus fell to Muzaffar-ud-Din,
who born of Royal parents on both sides, was declared Valia’hd, and was
accepted by the people as possessing all the necessary qualifications.
