Nāder Shāh
Nāder Shāh Afshār or Nadir Shah (November 1688 or 6 August 1698 – 19 June 1747) was the Shah of Iran from 1736 to 1747 and the founder of the Afsharid dynasty.
In 1739, Nāder Shāh acquired a Piece of Eden in the shape of a diamond when he sacked the Taj Mahal. In awe of its splendor, he named it Koh-i-Noor (Mountain of Light).[1] In 1747, Nāder Shāh was killed by assassins led by Salah Bey, the captain of the guard and an ally of the Assassin Mentor Achilles Davenport.[2]
