Abstract

Shah Ismail I 's early death caused the nascent Safavid government to face a serious challenge in leading and dominating the Ghezelbash and non-Ghezelbash tribes. Therefore, Shah Tahmasb I, the Safavid, faced the demands and sometimes ethnic and family dissatisfaction within Iran's political borders, which, if not they tended to diverge. However, the proximity to the sphere of power and influence in the political arena was one of these tribes' and groups' aspirations. Along with Shah Ismail and his successor Shah Tahmasb, they had wars and sacrifices or secretly raised their hopes. The present study, based on official sources and credible sources, explains the political marriages between different groups and groups and seeks to investigate why and how the influence of family ties in promoting the establishment of Safavid rule during the reign of Shah Tahmasb I. In this process, it becomes clear that at this time, the Safavid court and other ethnic groups used political marriage as an effective method in political relations, gaining economic interests, territorial development, and gaining political legitimacy and social acceptance. In this regard, the Shah Tahmasb I has also used this method in several cases to stabilize the power structure in interaction with local and regional elements that also had religious differences.
