Khosrow Mirza (1813–1875)
Born 1813 CE, died 1875 CE.
Prince Khosrow Mirza Qajar (Persian: شاهزاده خسرو میرزا قاجار; 1813 – 21 October 1875) was the seventh son of Abbas Mirza and grandson of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, shah of Iran. After the death of Alexander Griboyedov, Russian diplomat in Tehran, by the hands of Iranian culprits, Khosrow Mirza was assigned by his father, the Crown Prince Abbas Mirza, to an apology mission to the Russian Empire. In April 1829, the prince delivered Iran's apology to Tsar Nicholas I, and granted the Shah diamond the Tsar. His travelogue details his travels and experiences in Russia. After his return to Iran, he was appointed as an advisor of his father Abbas Mirza, and as a financial advisor for Iran's Khorasan province. After the death of Abbas Mirza in 1833, Khosrow Mirza's elder brother Mohammad Mirza became the Crown Prince, who would then inherit the throne from Fath-Ali Shah, their grandfather. As Abbas Mirza's favourite son, he posed the threat for the Shah and was imprisoned along with another of his brothers, Djahangir Mirza, in a castle in Ardabil on Mohammad Mirza's orders.
