Bedir Khan Beg (Kurmanji: Bedirxan Beg, Turkish: Bedirhan Bey; 1803–1869) was the last Kurdish[1][2] Mîr and mütesellim of the Emirate of Botan.[3]
Hereditary head of the house of Rozhaki whose seat was the ancient Bitlis Castle and descended from Sharafkhan Bidlisi, Bedir Khan was born in Cizre (now in Turkey) of Azizan family.[4] He became the Mir of the Emirate of Botan in 1821 and ruled until 1847.[3] The Bedir Khans also claimed descent from Muhammad's general Khalid ibn al-Walid.[4][5]
