(Larger picture left) Fath Ali Shah's children: (Standing) Soltan Ahmad Mirza Azod-ed-Dowleh, known as: Muchul Mirza (left), author of Tarikh-e Azodi, and Hossein Gholi Mirza II "Jahansouz", known as Amir Noyan. Sitting from right: Morassa' Khanom (sister of Azod-ed-Dowleh), Khoram Bahar Khanom "Ehteram-ed-Dowleh," and Badr-e-Jahan "Mah Baji" Khanom (sister of Hossein Gholi Mirza). This picture was taken in 1310 hejri lunar/ 1893 A.D., three years before Nasser-ed-Din Shah's assassination. This picture is historic in that it depicts the five last surviving children of Fath Ali Shah, Nasser-ed-Din Shah's great-grand-father. These are Nasser-ed-Din Shah's grand-uncles and grand-aunts, but they are not that much older than he was at that time. Nasser-ed-din Shah was 62 years old in 1310/1893. The children of Fath Ali Shah depicted here are in their late sixties and early seventies. Prince Azod-ed-Dowleh (standing left) was born 1234 A.H. and is here 76 years old.
