Dowlatshahi-Qajar (Kadjar)
__________
Note: The following Dowlatshahi Family Tree is based mostly
on the Foreign Office document and supplemented, updated and completed by
personal recollections of Princess Mehrangiz Dowlatshahi and Princess Mahin
Dowlatshahi-Firouz, grand-daughters of Soltan Ebrahim Mirza "Meshkat-ed-Dowleh"
(I), and daughters of Mohammad Ali Mirza "Meshkat-ed-Dowleh" (II).
Incomplete entries on certain names are due to the dated nature of the primary
source used for this family-tree, George Percy Churchill’s compilation
of 1906. Hopefully upon viewing this family-tree, members of the Dowlatshahi
family whose lineage has not been completed adequately will help us in the
task of bringing their particular family’s names and dates up to date.

Ancestor: Fath Ali Shah Qajar
His son:
1. Mohammad Ali Mirza, Qavam ol-Khelafa, "Dowlatshah," (1789-1821), Fath Ali Shah’s eldest son (seven months older than Abbas Mirza Nayeb-Saltaneh), born of a Georgian woman, Ziba-Chehr Khanoum, of non-Qajar origin, and thus on account of that, unable to claim the title "Valiahd." Governor of Kermanshah, he was a fierce rival of Abbas Mirza Nayeb-Saltaneh until his untimely death from cholera in 1821. His skills and ambitions mirrored those of his younger brother. He was a great military leader and a patron of the arts, poetry and philosophy. The origin of family name "Dowlatshah" and "Dowlatshahi" is from this ancestor’s title.
