Abbas Mirza, a Persian prince and warrior, born in 1783, died in 1833. He was the second and favorite son of Feth Ali, shah of Persia. He was the declared enemy of Russia, and commanded the armies of his father in the wars with that power in 1811-'13 and 1826-'8, but his campaigns proved unsuccessful. In 1829 the populace of Teheran murdered the Russian embassy, and Abbas Mirza voluntarily went to St. Petersburg to give satisfaction, but was dismissed honorably. He was amiable and chivalrous. He was nominated by his father heir to the throne, excluding his elder brother; but the father survived both.
