Biography

Anōshazād, known in the Shahnameh as Nōshzād, was a Sasanian prince who led a revolt in the southwestern province of Khuzistan in the 540s. He was the oldest son of king Khosrow I, while his mother was a Christian and the daughter of the judge (dadwar) of Ray. He may have attempted to receive the support of the Christians of Iran in his revolt. In the view of one historian, his revolt represented an unsuccessful attempt by the Christian elites of Khuzistan to increase their political power and status.
