Fath-Ali Shah Qajar
During Agha Mohammad Shah's reign, provincial administration followed the same model of the Safavid one; "beglerbegis" were appointed to govern provinces. A city was under the rule of a "kalantar" and "darugha", while its quarters was under the rule of the "kadkhuda". Governorship of provinces went for the most part to tribal chieftains—this was later changed by Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, who appointed many of his relatives as governors.
