Mozzafar Al-Din Shah

Nasser Al-Din Shah's son, Mozzafar Al-Din was an old child, as one of his companions once said. Waiting in his position og heir to the throne for 37 years, he never tried to learn how to really govern a country. He inherited Ali Asghar Khan, prime minister of his father, and the true ruler of the country. Although not nearly as strong as his father, "Abji Mozzafar" (sister Mozzafar, as he was called by the critics) made two trips to the "Farang", and spend a lot of money and bought a lot of useless things.

Coming with Mozzafar from Tabriz, where he held the position of governor of Azerbaijan, where a group of people known to the others as "Turks", although not many of them where actually Turk. These people who have been waiting for over 30 years for Mozzafar to become Shah, and now they could not control themselves, so they started emptying the treasury. This was not very pleasing to the people, especially the "Fars" group of courtians. So this started something that would burn the whole monarchy, at least it was suppose to!
