About
Reza Qoli Mirza Afshar (1719–1747) was the eldest son of Nader Shah, King of Afsharid Iran. After his father's coronation in 1736, Reza Qoli, aged 17, became the Governor of the important province of Khorasan. During his tenure, he showed courage by subduing rebellious khans and campaigning up until Bukhara to put an end to the Khanate of Bukhara, his father's enemies. Before heading off to India, Nader Shah appointed Reza Qoli the regent of Iran. As regent, Reza Qoli kept the peace intact but in doing so he was cruel, demanding taxes and executing people for mere crimes. He had Tahmasp II and Abbas III, two pretenders to the throne, killed, which caused an uproar among the people. When Nader Shah returned from India, he dismissed Reza Qoli as regent, snubbing him for his actions during the regency.
