Soltan-Ali Mirza

Soltan-Ali Mirza (Persian: سلطانعلی میرزا) was the ruler of the Kar-Kiya dynasty from 1478 to 1504/05.

Under him, the dynasty reached its apex of power, to such a degree that he fought against the Aq Qoyunlu over the rulership of Qazvin.

[1] Due to several fruitless and taxing expeditions in Bia-pas (western Gilan), he was overthrown by his brother Soltan-Hasan in 1504/5.

The throne was shortly taken by Soltan-Hasan's son Soltan-Ahmad, who had previously resided at the court of the Safavid ruler Ismail I.

[1][2] The cultural prosperity during Soltan-Ali Mirza's ruled is demonstrated by the production of the "Big Head Shahnama" in 1493/94.
