Ahmad Beg Nur Kamal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ahmad Beg Nur Kamal was a bureaucrat in Safavid Iran, who served as the grand vizier of Tahmasp I (r. 1524–1576) from 1531 to 1534.
A native of Isfahan,[1] Nur Kamal was of Persian origin.[2] Before becoming grand vizier, he had served as the personal vizier of Hoseyn Khan Shamlu in Khorasan.[1] In the fall of 1531,[2] Hoseyn Khan Shamlu initiated a purge in the administration and appointed Ahmad Beg Nur Kamal as the grand vizier, thus replacing Mirza Jafar Savaji.[1] During the downfall of Hoseyn Khan Shamlu in 1533/34, Nur Kamal was arrested, tortured and lost all his property. He was later freed.[1] The vizierate was given jointly to Khvajeh Sa'd al-Din Enayat Khuzani and Khvajeh Mo'en Yazdi.[3]
