Historical background


Ephthalite Huns

(Fourth to sixth century AD)

The Huns Hephthalites are one of the three branches of the Huns, Ye-te Chinese. Confined to the north of the Great Wall of China, they were driven in the third century of our era. They were first defeated in 425 by the Iranians, but Peroz, Sassanid king was killed in the fighting in 484. They were also repelled by Chandragupta, but they managed to seize Gandhara and reduced the Gupta Empire. Finally it is Chosroes (539-579), which ended the hegemony Hephthalite in 567.
