Farajollah Khan Shahsevan was a 19th-century military officer of Qajar Iran, who took part in the Russo-Persian War of 1804–1813.
[1] Farajollah belonged to the Shahsevan tribe, as well as the ruling dynasty of the Ardabil Khanate.
[2] Although the family's privilege to govern Ardabil was abolished in 1808 by the Qajars, Farajollah Khan and his family continued to support and collaborate with them.
[3][4] On September 28, 1809, Farajollah Khan led a force of 11,000 soldiers towards the town Lankaran, which was captured and razed.
The Russian ships were unable to help, due the town being encircled by woods.
