The Iranian Qajar king who delayed the death sentence of his servants for a day
and those same servants broke into his tent and
killed him
Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar, the founder of the Qajar dynasty, ruled Persia with austerity and total control in the late 18th century.
His rise to the throne was itself fraught with wars, purges of opponents, and personal traumas, including his being castrated by a rival group as a child.
His rule continued to be harsh, with even minor infractions meted out severe punishments.
The same pattern can be seen in the story of the two servants;
When the servants were making a fuss about something, the king immediately ordered their execution. Since the day was a religiously sacred day, the execution was postponed and they were sent back to work, thinking that the fear of punishment would keep them in check.
But this assumption proved fatal for the king. The servants, knowing that their death was certain, took the first step.
That night, while the king was sleeping in Shusha (in present-day Azerbaijan) during his military campaign, they entered his tent and murdered him.
His sudden death in 1797 ended the reign of a ruler who had reunified Persia by force, and it threw the fledgling Qajar state into uncertainty.
Strangely enough, the king, who had been feared throughout the region, was killed neither by his troops nor by his opponents, but by two men who had nothing left to lose.
