Hasan-Ali Khan Daghestani

Hasan-Ali Khan Daghestani (d. 1721) was a Safavid official of Lezgian origin, who served as the governor (beglarbeg) of Shirvan (1718) and of Shamakhi (hakem; March 1720–1721). He was the nephew of the Safavid vizier Fath-Ali Khan Daghestani.^[1][2] During his tenure in Shirvan, the Lezgins of the Safavid domains in southern Dagestan and eastern Georgia (of the Qaniq valley) rose in revolt, ravaging Shirvan and completely defeating Hasan-Ali Khan's forces at Shaki.^[3] During his tenure in Shamakhi, he set out with a large Safavid force to defend against another Lezgin incursion, but the latter fell upon them at dawn, which resulted in the death of both Hasan-Ali Khan Daghestani as well as a large number of his forces in the districts of Shaki.^[4][2]
