Entry of Mahmoud in Persia and royal pageantry
Historical Chronicle notes Mahmoud's public entry into the city on the twenty fifth of the month. Jaques Courland led a procession with twelve soldiers, 350 life guards, and 109 more guards. The new king rode with the scepter, flanked by generals Kier Soltan and Ama nulla. Nobles and the dethroned king entered, the streets lined with musketeers, perfumed air to mask carcass stench. Palace ceremony followed with a grand throne, artillery firing, and public rejoicing. Bread prices fell from two hundred crowns to two per pound as provisions improved.
