Nāder Shāh Afshār (1688 or 1698 – 1747) was the Shah of Iran from 1736 to 1747 and the founder of the Afsharid dynasty.
Biography[edit | edit source]
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 the Koh-i-Noor ('Mountain of Light').[1][2]
In 1747, Nāder Shāh was attacked by Assassins led by Salah Bey, his captain of the guard. He managed to cut down two of the attackers before Salah Bey slew him with a sword. Although the Assassin had hoped to retrieve the Koh-i-Noor, the diamond had already been passed off to Ahmad Shāh Durrānī, an Afghan chief.[3]
