Bahram Mirza is given very little attention in Nader Mirza's biography of the governors of Tabriz, which suggests that outside from serving as a soldier, he had no real interests. The social wellbeing of the individuals under his authority does not appear to have occurred to him. His shifting provincial governorship assignments are indicative of his uncompromising wealth accumulation strategies, which in turn infuriated the populace and led to his removal.[1]
