Talk:List of Safavid commanders-in-chief

Monarch overlaps
As you can see, alot of these commanders-in-chief/sepahsalars entered and left office on "complicated dates".

For example, Floor reports that "Zeinal Khan Shamlu" entered office in 1629, but he doesn't say anything the then incument ruler, nor does he specify the months. Hence its hard to say who the monarch was at the time; it could be both Abbas I as well as Safi, right? For such cases I have included "both monarchs" in the list if you get what I mean. At least for the time being.

Do you perhaps have any sources at your disposal that elaborate more about the tenures of the commanders-in-chief, vis-à-vis the ruling kings? - LouisAragon (talk) 00:43, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
