Haydar Mirza Safavi (Persian: حیدر میرزا صفوی, also spelled Haidar Mirza Safavi) (18 September 1554 — 15 May 1576) was a Safavid prince who declared himself as the king (shah) of Iran on 15 May 1576, the day after his father Tahmasp I had died. He was, however, killed that same day by the Qizilbash tribes that favoured his brother Ismail Mirza Safavi as the successor of their father. His mother was Sultanzadeh Khanum, a Georgian lady.[1]
