Aziz Al-Soltan
Aziz al-Soltan and Anīs-al-dawla
Aziz Al-Soltan (Persian: غلامعلی خان عزیزالسلطان, 1879–1940) was a favorite of shah Naser al-Din Shah Qajar of Persia (r. 1848–1896).[1]
He was a nephew of one of the shah's favorite wives, Amineh Aghdas. He was introduced to court where he became a page and swiftly a favorite of the shah, a position supported by his aunt. The shah spent a fortune on him, who was commonly known as Malījak, and his favorite position and the privileges and money spent on him attracted much negative publicity and made him disliked by many circles at court.
