About Ahmad Beg Nur Kamal
Ahmad Beg Nur Kamal was a bureaucrat in Safavid Iran, who served as the grand vizier of Tahmasp I from 1531 to 1533/34.
A native of Isfahan, Nur Kamal was of Persian origin. He is the only known member of the Nur Kamaliya, an important family in Isfahan. Prior to becoming the grand vizier, he had served as the personal vizier of Hoseyn Khan Shamlu in Khorasan. In the fall of 1531, Hoseyn Khan Shamlu initiated a purge in the administration and appointed Ahmad Beg Nur Kamal as the grand vizier, thus replacing Mirza Jafar Savaji. During the downfall of Hoseyn Khan Shamlu in 1533/34, Nur Kamal was arrested, tortured and lost all his property. He was later freed. The vizierate was given jointly to Khvajeh Sa'd al-Din Enayat Khuzani and Khvajeh Mo'en Yazdi.
