Fath-Ali Khan Daghestani

Fath-Ali Khan Daghestani (Persian: فتحعلی خان داغستانی), was a Lezgian nobleman, who served as the Grand Vizier of the Safavid shah (king) Soltan Hoseyn (r. 1694–1722) from 1716 to 1720.

[5] In 1719, rebellious Sunni Lezgins overran Shirvan and killed the governor of the province, and thereafter attacked Georgia, which resulted in the eruption of a set of episodes that ultimately ended in the downfall and dismissal of Daghestani in the year after.

At this time, Shah Sultan Husayn had recently restored the sepahsalar (commander-in-chief) Hosaynqoli Khan (Vakhtang VI) as vali ("viceroy") of Kartli and sent him back to Georgia with the task of suppressing the Lezgian rebellion.

[3] On 8 December 1720, the qurchi-bashi ("head of the royal bodyguard"), Mohammadqoli Khan, who was himself a member of the conspiracy against Daghestani, was ordered to execute the latter.

[3] Shah Sultan Husayn allegedly later regretted his approach on Daghestani—nonetheless, he deemed it incautious to permit him to stay in Tehran, and had him sent to Shiraz, where he died in imprisonment at an unknown date.
