Mirman Mirimanidze, better known as Safiqoli Khan (died 1631), was a Safavid official and gholam who served during the reigns of Abbas I (1588-1629) and Safi (1629-1642).
Biography
Safiqoli's original name was Mirman, and he was a member of the Mirimanidze clan.[1] His father was named Malek Qorkhmaz, and he had a brother named Malek Atabek (Atabegi).[2][3] One of his uncles, Tahmaspqoli, who was bestowed with the title Anīs ol-Dowleh, was the first influential gholam from the family.[4]
Safiqoli rose steadily through the Safavid ranks to become a yuzbashi (officer) early on in his career.[5] Later on, in 1618–1619, he became prefect (darugha) of New Julfa in Isfahan, and was made governor (beglarbeg) of Hamadan shortly after, in 1619–1620.[5][6] Following king Abbas I's recapture of Baghdad in 1624 during the Ottoman-Safavid War of 1623–1639, which ended many decades of Ottoman rule, Safiqoli was appointed as its new beglarbeg.[7][8][9] In addition, he was made the local qurchi-bashi of the shrine city of Najaf.[8]
His two close relatives included Mihrab Khan (d. 1648/49) and Manuchehr (sometime beglarbeg of Shirvan).[10]
