Mohammad Mirza, heir to the Qajarid throne,…

Mohammad Mirza, heir to the Qajarid throne, is the son of Abbas Mirza, the crown prince and governor of Azerbaijan, who in turn is the son of Fat′h Ali Shah Qajar, the second Shah of the dynasty.

At first, Abbas Mirza had been the chosen heir to the Shah.

However, after he died, the Shah had chosen Mohammad to be his heir.

After the Shah's death, Ali Mirza, one of his many sons, had tried to take the throne in opposition to Mohammad.

After a rule of about forty days, he had been quickly deposed at the hands of Mirza Abolghasem Ghaem Magham Farahani, a politician, scientist, and poet.

Ali is forgiven by Mohammad, who now becomes king of Persia.

Farahani had been awarded the position of prime minister by Mohammad at the time of his inauguration but in 1835 is betrayed and executed by the order of Shah at the instigation of Haji Mirza Aqasi, who becomes the Ghaem Magham's successor and who is to greatly influence the Shah's policies.

One of his wives, Malek Jahan Khanom, Mahd-e Olia, is later to become a large influence on his successor, who is their son.
