Historical background
SASANIAN - SASANIAN KINGDOM - HORMIZD IV
(579-590)
Son of Khusro I (531-579) (Chosroes), he tried to continue his father's policy, but he did not have his stature. He showed himself to be tolerant and benevolent and received the title of righteous. By chasing Vahran Chobin, one of his generals, he caused his downfall. He was deposed, blinded and replaced by his son Khusro II before being assassinated.
