Baku Khanate was an independent khanate[1][2][3][4][5] (principality) on the territory of modern day Azerbaijan between 1747 and 1806. Baku was one of Khanate (principalities) which arose during the domination of Iran. During the period of Iranian domination, head of principality was a Khan. Although, the khan could act within certain independence, he was vassal of the Iranian shah (King). [6]
It was founded by Dargah Quli Khan of Afshar tribe, whose Kizilbash ancestors were granted lands near Baku in 1592. Khanate was independent during the reign of his son Mirza Muhammad Khan, later the khanate became a dependency of a stronger khanate of Quba. Feudal infighting in the 1790s resulted in Husayn Quli Khan taking the power away from Russian-leaning brother, Muhammed Quli Khan (father of a writer Abbasqulu Bakikhanov).
Russian forces tried to besiege Baku during third Russo-Persian War (1804-1813) (1804-1813). They were led by general Pavel Tsitsianov, who was assassinated in February 1806, near the city gates. Baku was finally occupied by Russian forces led by general Bulgakov in September 1806, and Husayn Quli Khan was forced into exile.
