Khosrow Khan Ardalan

Khosrow Khan Ardalan was the Ardalan beglerbeg (governor) of Kurdistan from 1680 to 1682.^[1] He was unpopular amongst his subjects, who claimed his rule was oppressive. He was counselled several times to improve his way of governing, but they all proved ineffective. As a result, he was summoned to Isfahan, where he was executed at the Royal Square (Maydan-e Shah). He was replaced by Timur Khan Ajarlu Shamlu, the first non-Kurdish governor of the province.^[2]
