Saif-ud-Daulah (Sultan
Muhammad Mirza)
Born
about 1852. Son of ‘Azad-ud-Daulah, Muchul Mirza. Has been Governor of
Nihavand, Malayir, and Tusarqan. Brother of Prince ‘Ain-ud-Daulah. Was a
Chamberlain to Nasir-ud-Din Shah, Governor of Kazvin, in 1901 and of Astarabad
in 1903. Appointed Governor of Kirmanshah early in 1907 and showed remarkable
inaptitude in June 1907, when the people were divided over the constitutional
movement and considerable bloodshed occurred. About 2,000 persons took ‘bast’
at the British Consulate and they were fired on by the people outside. He did
not apologize for this act until pressed to do so by the Central Government and
then only in a half-hearted manner. He was deputed to bring the Salar-ud-Daulah
to Tehran, but was eventually dismissed from the Governorship in order to make
reparations to the British Legation. Was reappointed Governor of Kirmanshah in
October 1907, but did not take up appointment in consequence of objections
raised by His Majesty’s Legation. Appointed Governor of Arabistan, July 1908,
and spent most of his time as the guest of Shaikh Khazal at Failiyah; one of
the Shaikh’s wives in his grand-daughter. Son ― Jalil-ud-Daulah.
