Firuz Mirza

Firuz Mirza Nosrat ad-Dowleh Farmanfarma was a Qajar prince, military commander and administrator in 19th-century Iran. He was the sixteenth son of Abbas Mirza.
During the rule of his brother Mohammad Shah Qajar, Firuz Mirza had a prosperous political and military career. This continued under his nephew Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, who appointed him to multiple governorships and other leading positions. He was also a scholar and an expert with the kamancheh, a bowed string instrument.
The current Firuz and Farmanfarmaian families are descended from the offspring of Firuz Mirza and his wife Homa Khanom, the granddaughter of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar. One of them were their son Abdol-Hossein Farman Farma. Firuz Mirza's daughter Najm al-Saltaneh was the mother of Iranian politician Mohammad Mosaddegh.
