About
Uruch Beg Bayad (also spelled Oruch or Oruj), later known by his baptized name of Don Juan (1560–1604) was a late 16th and early 17th century Iranian figure in Iran and Spain. He is also known as Faisal Nazary. A native of Iran, and from the Bayat Qizilbash clan,. In 1599 Shah Abbas I sent an envoy to Europe headed by the English traveler Anthony Shirley and Hossein Ali Beg Bayat. Uruch Beg Bayat as a cousin of the latter was part of the delegation. The envoy was equipped with letters to rulers of the Kingdoms of Spain, England, Scotland, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Tsardom of Muscovy and the Republic of Venice. In Astrakhan, the envoy merged with the Shah's previously sent delegation to Tsar Boris Godunov, led by Pir-qoli Beg. At the tsar's insistence, the delegation bypassed Poland–Lithuania and via the port of Arkhangelsk, sailing around Scandinavia, reached the port of Emden and from there Prague in October 1600. In 1601, the envoy reached Rome, and later that year reached Spain, where it was welcomed by King Philip III in Valladolid. As a result of internal disputes, some of the messengers remained in Spain and received baptism, among them Uruch Beg Bayat. Hossein Ali Beg Bayat continued his route to Iran through Lisbon and Goa in 1602.
