Nāder Shāh
Nāder Shāh Afshār (1688 or 1698 – 1747) was the Shah of Iran from 1736 to 1747 and the founder of the Afsharid dynasty.
Biography
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][2]
In 1747, Nāder Shāh was attacked by Assassins led by Salah Bey, the captain of the guard. He managed to cut down two of the Assassins before Salah Bey slew him with a sword. The Koh-i-Noor subsequently fell into the hands of Ahmad Shāh, an Afghan chief.[3]
