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