A Persian word meaning a royal order or decree issued by a sovereign, used notably in the Ottoman Empire (sometimes written ‘phirmaund’).

power in Fars. After a quarrel with his father-in-law in 1829 (?) he took
the whole II (tribe) away with him to the province of Kirman. Minuchehr

of Fars, sent him to Tehran in 1832, whence he returned only
in 1874. His eldest son, who became Ilbegl, married a daughter of His
Ala jest y Muhammad Shah, and was given high command; and his brother-
in-law, Prince Mutamid-ud-Dauleh protected the tribal chiefs.
Various members of the ruling family have at different periods been up in
armskgainst the Government: the third son of the first IWidnl was in rebel
lion in Qir and Karzin in 1831, and died in imprisonment at Shiraz the same
year. Though the fourth son of the first IWiahi, and grand-father of the
present generation of Ilkhdnls, died fighting for His ftoyal Highness Fir
man Firma at Kirman, Suhrab Khan, his son, got into trouble with the
Government towards the end of his life, was taken to Tehran, and executed
about 1873.
Muhammad Quli Khan, third with a large body of tribesmen
appeared on the plains of Dashtistan, to fight the British army in 1856, but
according to Qashqai accounts scorned to serve under a Nuri commander-
in-chief and deserted. He was known as “ The Great Ilkhdnl ”, and under
him the Qashqai were a powerful and united tribe. He died in 1885.
Sultan Muhammad Khan, fourth Ilkhdnl, was a weak ruler, without
control: many of the smaller clans were ruined and absorbed by larger
branches, and much of the Ilkhani’s power passed to the Ilbegi.
Haji Nasrullah Khan, fifth Ilkhdnl, who had restored the power to the
Ilkhdnl, and secured a firm hold over the tribe, left one son, whose defici
encies and failings made him unfit to succeed his father, and the succession
passed to the sons of Darab Khan, brother of Suhrah Khan. Haji Nasrul-
laKs daughter was married to the present (1912) Quvvam-ul-Muik—a fact
that has given rise to much of the hc/stility between the Ilkhdnl, Saulat-ud-
Dauleh and the Quvvam^s adherents.
In 1898 the eldest son of Darab Khan, Zergham-ud-Dauleh, succeeded
as sixth Ilkhdnv. he was a man of fine stature and presence, and popular with
the tribesmen, largely because of his leniency and indifference to the pay
ment of revenue. His early death in 1905 may be attributed to ovel-indul-
gence. During his life-time his full brother, Saulat-ud-Dauleh, had several
times acted as ilbegi, and for a short period in 1902 replaced him as Ilkhdnl.
About this period the late Quvvam-ul-Mulk had powerful influence in
Fars: Prince ShuV-us-Sultaneh had humiliated him, and patronized
Saulat-ud-Dauleh. No sooner had the prince vacated the Governor-Geperal-
ship (in 1906) than Quvvam-ul-Mulk, left as Acting Governor-General,
conferred the Ilkhdnl-ship of the Qashqals on Zaigham-ud-Dauleh, son of
Darab Khan by a peasant wife. Saulat-ud-DauleKs supporters included
Muhammad "Ali Khan Kashkuli, his brothers, and Ayyaz Kiha Khan, Dara-
shuri : with Zaigham were Muhammad Hasan Khan, Kashkuli, an enemy of
SaulaFs, Agha Kiha Khan, Darashuri and Karim Khan of the Buir Ahmadi.
A fight took place near Kudian. ZaighanFs force was routed and he had
to flee from Fars. The bitter enmity between the Quvvam and a section
of the Qashqais may be largely ascribed to this incident. Zaigham-ud-
