Safavid dynasty
Mir-i Buzurg was famous for his charismatic behavior and tolerant rule. His descendants continued to rule in Mazandaran until it was annexed by the Safavid dynasty in 1596. Nevertheless, even after its fall, the Marashi family continued to play an important role in the politics of the Safavid dynasty, as it had before under Khayr al-Nisa Begum, who the mother of Shah Abbas I, and "de facto" ruler of the Safavid dynasty from February 1578 to July 1579.
