https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeynab_Begum

[Before and during Shah Abbas I's punitive expeditions 1614-1616 (against the Georgians and Shirvanis who had coped with the Ottomans) most of the influencial courtiers were eliminated or left the political scene ] {...these purges all related with those who had the possibility to revolt in the Caucasus region and its population}... (Just before the expedition to Georgia), Zainab Beigum Abbas's aunt and the most influential person of the inner palace, was excluded from royal haram and ordered to go to Qazvin. Her fief Kashan was taken away. The royal sceals which were near her were given to Yusof Aqa gholam, a Circassian eunuch who became the most powerful person in the haram until Safi's reign when his family was purged. ...] ...[ Just one year before his death, Abbas visited Zainab Beigum with whom he never met from the date of departure towards Georgian expedition and was reconciled with her after more than a decade. see pages 251-252 of Hirotake Maeda's paper on the Forced Migrations and Reorganisation of Regional Order in the Caucasus by Safavid Iran.)
