Mohammad Taqi Mirza
(also written
Mohammad Taghi Mirza
) was born 5 October 1791 at
Tehran
as Fath Ali Shah's 7th son by the latter's temporary (
sighe
) wife Zeynab Khanom, daughter of Ali Mardan Khan Bakhtiari, supreme chief of the Chahar Lang division of the
Bakhtiari
tribe. Thus, he was one of the shah's twelve senior sons attending the official receptions at court depicted in several portraits. His only full sister was Princess Maryam Khanom (Fath Ali Shah's 5th daughter).
In 1818 he commanded the attack on the Castle of Shirvan and his imperial father entitled him
Hessam os-Saltaneh
(lit. "Saber of the Monarchy"). After his eldest brother
Mohammad Ali Mirza
, the governor-general of Kermanshah, died from cholera in 1823 Mohammad Taqi Mirza was made 1826-1829 governor of that province. 1831-1834 he was made governor of Boroujerd. At his father's death in 1834 he was with some brothers imprisoned in the Ardabil citadel by the prime minister to avoid any attempts against the succession of the princes' nephew
Mohammad Shah Qajar
. He was released in 1848 by the next Qajar ruler
Nasir al-Din Shah
. Mohammad Taqi Mirza was also a poet under the pen name "Shokat".
