Hasan Ali Mirza

Hasan Ali Mirza Shoja ol-Saltaneh (Persian: حسنعلی میرزا شجاع السلطنه; 1790–1854) was a Qajar prince and one of the younger sons of shah (king) Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1797–1834). He served as governor of key provinces, including Kerman, Yazd, and Khorasan, and was known for his military skill and bravery. After his father's death in 1834, he supported his brother Hossein Ali Mirza in a failed attempt to seize the throne, which led to his capture, blinding, and imprisonment. In addition to his political and military involvement, Hasan Ali Mirza was also a poet, writing in Persian under the pen name "Shekaste".
