“Sikandar bin Ali II succeeded his father on 24 November 1672 at four or five years of age, and the fourteen years of his reign are fourteen years of other men’s regencies” — the archive’s essay on the fall, resting on Encyclopaedia Iranica’s regnal table and Jadunath Sarkar.

Everything else the archive holds on the topics this entry belongs to.
