Amanullah Mirza Jahanbani (Persian: امانالله میرزا جهانبانی, romanized: Amanullah Mirza Jahanbani; 1869, Tehran - 1912, Tabriz) was an Iranian constitutionalist, general, statesman and a prominent prince of the Qajar dynasty.[1] 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.[2]
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.[3]
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.[5]
