Global InformationTimur Khan Ajarlu Shamlu information
Timur Khan Ajarlu Shamlu (also spelled Teymur Khan Ajarlu'i) was the Safavid-appointed governor of Kurdistan from 1682 to 1688.[1] Following the execution of the unpopular governor Khosrow Khan Ardalan, Shah Solayman (r. 1666–1694) had him replaced with Timur Khan, who became the first non-Kurdish governor of the province.[2] Since Timur Khan was a foreigner with no connection to the province, he was eventually chased out by the locals.[3] In 1688, he was replaced by Khan Ahmad Khan II Ardalan.[1]
