According to some sources a group of women warriors (about 10,000) from Mazandaran participated in the battle of Chaldiran in the sixteenth century, the more interesting thing is about the battle of Shirvan, lets read it:
She was the daughter of Mir Abdullah Khan II, the governor of the province of
Mazandaran, who claimed descent from the fourth Shi'a Imam
Zayn al-Abidin.
[2] Members of the family had ruled Mazandaran since the mid-14th century. In 1565-6 Khayr al-Nisa fled to the Safavid court after her cousin Mir Sultan-Murad Khan killed her father. Here she was married to
Shah Tahmasp I's son Mohammed Khodabanda. Desire for revenge on her father's killer would remain with her for the rest of her life.
