The leaders of the nobles who placed Ahmad II on the throne were I‘timād Khān and Sayyid Mubārak Bukhārī, and it was the former who assumed the office of regent, while the latter retired to Mahmūdābād, which he occupied as his fief. All the nobles of the kingdom were virtually independent, and each lived on his estate, leaving I‘timād Khān to carry on a pretence of administering the whole country in the name of the youthful king.
