Chosrau III.
Chosrau III. was a nephew of the Sassanid king Chosrau II , after whose death it had come to anarchic conditions in the empire. The successors of Chosraus II, including two queens, could only stay on the throne for a few months and sometimes ruled simultaneously in different parts of the empire; In addition, the sources for this period are very uncertain.
Chosrau III. was proclaimed king in the east of Persia in 630. He could only gain regional authority and was murdered after a few months. Peroz II then seems to have been made king by followers of Chosraus, only to be murdered a short time later.

Remarks
- ↑ Occasionally, the number of rulers after Chosrau II varies in research. Thus, in the Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire , vol. 3a, Cambridge 1992, p. 308, a different Chosrau than Chosrau III. counted. However, the chronology was at this point followed, which is also the preferred option in the relevant newer standard works (cf.. Klaus Schippmann : Broad history of the Sasanian Empire , Darmstadt 1990, p 73; Josef Wiesehöfer : The ancient Persia , aktual edition, Dusseldorf. 2005, p. 413).
