Tarkhan-Mouravi
The Tarkhan-Mouravi ( ka, თარხან-მოურავი) (Tarkhnishvili, თარხნიშვილი, or Tarkhan-Mouravishvili, თარხან-მოურავიშვილი) is a Georgian noble family, claiming descent from the Shamkhal dynasty of Tarki, in Dagestan. Originally known as Saakadze (სააკაძე), they acquired, in the 1640s, the title of prince (''tavadi'') and the new surname, which is a composite of the two hereditary offices, mouravi and tarkhan. The family was reconfirmed as the princes ( knyaz) by the Russian Empire in 1826 and 1850.

Bijan Beg, also known as Bijan Beg Gorji (''Bezhan'', ''Bizhan''), was a Safavid courtier, official, and royal ''gholam'' from the Georgian Saakadze clan. He was one of the most influential and closest servants of king Abbas I (r. 1588–1629) in the latter's early reign. Biography Bijan belonged to the gentry (''aznauri'') of Kartli, whose king Luarsab I he served early in his career. Afterwards, he appears to have accompanied David XI of Kartli (Davud Khan) when the latter moved to the Safavid court at Qazvin in 1562 to tender his submission to king Tahmasp I (r. 1524–1576). When David XI converted to Islam on this occasion, Bijan Beg did so as well. After the Ottoman conquest of northwestern Iran and the Caucasus through the Ottoman–Safavid War of 1578–1690, Bijan followed a son of Davud Khan (either Bagrat or Khosrow) and other nobles to the Safavid court, and settled there decisively. Bijan then served Safavid king Abbas I (r. 1588–1629) for many years, and was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
