Musa Soltan Torkaman

His father Isa beg was a son of Bakr beg Mawsillu (d. 1491), a governor of Astarabad and a loyal follower of Ya'qub Beg of Aq Qoyunlu. According to some sources, his daughter Sultanum Begum was married to Tahmasp I c. 1516 and hence was a grandfather of Mohammad Khodabanda and Ismail II.^[2][3] However, according to Kioumars Ghereghlou, he was a brother to Sultanum Begum.^[4] He was appointed as governor of Azerbaijan following former governor Ulama soltan Takalu's defection to Ottoman Empire. After 3 years of rule he had to flee from Tabriz following Suleiman the Magnificent's campaign and widespread plague among his troops.^[5] He was described as an official given into "mirth, play, conversation and wine".^[6]
