He was the son and successor of [[Kavad I]] ({{reign|488|496|498/9|531}}). Inheriting a reinvigorated empire at [[Iberian War|war with the Byzantines]], Khosrow I signed a peace treaty with them in 532, known as the [[Perpetual Peace (532)|Perpetual Peace]], in which the Byzantine emperor [[Justinian I]] paid 11,000 pounds of gold to the Sasanians. Khosrow then focused on consolidating his power, executing conspirators, including his uncle [[Bawi]]. Dissatisfied with the actions of the Byzantine clients and vassals, the [[Ghassanids]], and encouraged by [[Ostrogoth]] envoys from [[Italy]], Khosrow violated the peace treaty and declared war against the Byzantines in 540. He sacked the major city of [[Antioch]] and deported its population to Persia. In 541, he invaded [[Lazica]] and made it an Iranian protectorate, thus initiating the [[Lazic War]]. In 545, the two empires agreed to halt the wars in [[Mesopotamia]] and [[Syria (region)|Syria]] while continuing to fight in Lazica. A truce was made in 557, and by 562 a [[Fifty-Year Peace Treaty]] was made. In 572, [[Justin II]], the successor of Justinian, [[Byzantine–Sasanian War of 572–591|broke the peace treaty]] and sent a Byzantine force into the Sasanian region of [[Arzanene]]. The following year, Khosrow [[Siege of Dara (573)|besieged and captured]] the important Byzantine fortress-city of [[Dara (Mesopotamia)|Dara]], which led Justin II to insanity. The war lasted till 591, outliving Khosrow. Khosrow's wars were not only based in the west. To the east, in an alliance with the [[Göktürks]], he finally put an end to the [[Hephthalite Empire]], which had inflicted a handful of defeats on the Sasanians in the 5th century, killing Khosrow's grandfather [[Peroz I]]. To the south, Iranian forces led by [[Wahrez]] defeated the [[Kingdom of Aksum|Aksumites]] and [[Aksumite–Persian wars|conquered Yemen]]. Khosrow I was known for his character, virtues and knowledge. During his ambitious reign, he continued his father's project of making major social, military, and economic reforms, promoting the welfare of the people, increasing state revenues, establishing a professional army, and founding or rebuilding many cities, palaces, and much infrastructure. He was interested in literature and philosophy, and under his reign, art and science flourished in Iran. He was the most distinguished of the Sasanian kings, and his name became, like that of [[Caesar]] in the history of [[Roman Empire|Rome]], a designation of the [[Sasanian kings]].

The proposal was initially greeted with enthusiasm by the Byzantine Emperor and his nephew, [[Justinian]], but Justin's ''[[quaestor sacri palatii|quaestor]]'', Proclus, opposed the move, due to the concern of Khosrow possibly later try to take over the Byzantine throne.{{sfn|Schindel|2013a|pp=136–141}} The Byzantines instead made a counter-proposal to adopt Khosrow not as a Roman, but a barbarian.<ref name="PRO11">Procopius, [http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16764/16764-h/16764-h.htm 11].</ref> In the end the negotiations did not come to a consensus.{{sfn|Schindel|2013a|pp=136–141}} Khosrow reportedly felt insulted by the Byzantines, and his attitude deteriorated towards them.{{sfn|Schindel|2013a|pp=136–141}} Mahbod, who had along with [[Siyawush]] acted as the diplomats of the negotiations, accused the latter of purposely sabotaging the negotiations.<ref name="PRO11"/> Further accusations were made towards Siyawush, which included the reverence of new deities and having his dead wife buried, which was a violation of Iranian laws.{{sfn|Schindel|2013a|pp=136–141}} Siyawush was thus most likely a Mazdakite, the religious sect that Kavad originally supported but now had withdrawn his support from. Although Siyawush was a close friend of Kavad and had helped him escape from imprisonment, the latter did not try to prevent his execution, seemingly with the purpose of restricting Siyawush's immense authority as the head of the Sasanian army, a post which was disliked by the other nobles.{{sfn|Schindel|2013a|pp=136–141}} Siyawush was executed, and his office was abolished.{{sfn|Sundermann|1986|p=662}} Despite the breakdown of the negotiations, it was not until 530 that full-scale warfare on the main eastern frontier broke out.

He was afterwards executed by Khosrow, who had his feet fastened on a [[gallows]], and had his men shoot arrows at him.{{sfn|Axworthy|2008|p=60}} The validity of the story is uncertain; Ferdowsi used much earlier reports of events to write the Shahnameh, and thus the story may report some form of contemporary memory.{{sfn|Axworthy|2008|p=61}} == Accession == === The Eternal Peace of 532 === [[Image:King Khusraw Anushirvan Enthroned- Page from a Manuscript of the Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Firdawsi LACMA M.73.5.18.jpg|thumb|upright|14th-century [[Shahnameh]] illustration of Khosrow I seated on his throne.]] In 531, while the Iranian army was [[Siege of Martyropolis (531)|besieging Martyropolis]], Kavad became ill and died.{{sfn|Chaumont|Schippmann|1988|pp=574–580}} Khosrow succeeded him, but due to his domestic position being insecure, he wanted to make peace with the Byzantines, who themselves under Emperor [[Justinian I]] (r. 527–565) were perhaps already more focused on recovering the lost [[Western Roman Empire|western half]] of the [[Roman Empire]] than in pursuing war against Iran.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=96}} The Byzantine envoys [[Rufinus (Roman official)|Rufinus]], [[Hermogenes (magister officiorum)|Hermogenes]], Alexander and Thomas found Khosrow in a more conciliatory disposition than his father, and an agreement was soon reached. Justinian would pay 110 ''[[quintal|centenaria]]'' (11,000 pounds) of gold, ostensibly as a contribution to the defence of the [[Caucasus]] passes against the barbarians living beyond, and the base of the ''[[dux Mesopotamiae]]'' would be withdrawn from the fortress of [[Dara (Mesopotamia)|Dara]] to the city of [[Constantia (Osrhoene)|Constantina]]. The two rulers would recognize once again each other as equal and pledged mutual assistance.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=96}}{{sfn|Maas|2005|p=488}} Khosrow initially refused to hand back the two [[Lazica|Lazic]] forts, while demanding the return of the two other forts the Byzantines had captured in Sasanian Armenia. Justinian at first agreed, but soon changed his mind, causing the agreement to be broken off.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|pp=96–97}} In summer 532, however, a new embassy by Hermogenes and Rufinus managed to persuade Khosrow for a full exchange of the occupied forts, as well as for allowing the exiled [[Kingdom of Iberia (antiquity)|Iberian]] rebels to either remain in the Byzantine Empire or return safely to their homes.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|pp=96–97}} === Consolidation of power === Sometime during the early reign of Khosrow, he had to deal with his eldest brother [[Kawus]], who ruled as governor-king of the northern province of [[Padishkhwargar]].<ref>{{harvnb|Daryaee|2014|p=28}}; {{harvnb|Pourshariati|2008|pp=288–289}}</ref> Unlike Khosrow, he was a Mazdakite (or at least had strong Mazdakite sympathies), and thus had their support as the candidate for the throne.{{sfn|Pourshariati|2008|pp=288-289}} Kawus asserted to be the legitimate heir of the throne due to his older age.{{sfn|Pourshariati|2008|pp=288-289}} He was, however, defeated by Khosrow's forces and taken to [[Ctesiphon]], where Khosrow summoned the priests and urged Kawus to make confessions and ask for forgiveness, so that he could be released.{{sfn|Pourshariati|2008|p=289}} Kawus refused, preferring death, forcing Khosrow to have him killed.{{sfn|Pourshariati|2008|p=289}} Khosrow reportedly "cursed the fortunes" for "forcing him to kill a brother like Kawus."{{sfn|Pourshariati|2008|p=289}} Another danger to Khosrow's rule was that of his uncle [[Bawi]], who along with other members of the Iranian aristocracy, became involved in a conspiracy in which they tried to overthrow Khosrow and make Kavad, the son of Khosrow's brother Jamasp, the shah of Iran.{{sfn|Pourshariati|2008|p=111}} Upon learning of the plot, Khosrow executed all his brothers and their offspring, along with Bawi and the other aristocrats who were involved.{{sfn|Pourshariati|2008|p=111}} Khosrow also ordered the execution of Kavad, who was still a child, and was away from the court, being raised by [[Adergoudounbades]]. Khosrow sent orders to kill Kavad, but Adergoudounbades disobeyed and brought him up in secret, until he was betrayed to the shah in 541 by his own son, Bahram. Khosrow had him executed, but Kavad, or someone claiming to be him, managed to flee to the Byzantine Empire.<ref>{{harvnb|Martindale|1992|pp=16, 276}}; {{harvnb|Pourshariati|2008|pp=268–269}}; {{harvnb|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=112}}.</ref> ==Reforms== ===Summary=== Khosrow I represents the epitome of the [[philosopher king]] in the Sasanian Empire. Upon his ascent to the throne, Khosrow did not restore power to the feudal nobility or the magi, but centralized his government.{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=29}} Khosrow's reign is considered to be one of the most successful within the Sasanian Empire. The peace agreement between Rome and Iran in 531 gave Khosrow the chance to consolidate power and focus his attention on internal improvement.{{sfn|Dignas|Winter|2007|p=28}} His reforms and military campaigns marked a renaissance of the Sasanian Empire, which spread philosophic beliefs as well as trade goods from the [[far east]] to the far west. The internal reforms under Khosrow were much more important than those on the exterior frontier. The subsequent reforms resulted in the rise of a bureaucratic state at the expense of the great noble families, strengthening the [[centralized government|central government]] and the power of the Shahanshah. The army too was reorganized and tied to the central government rather than local nobility allowing greater organization, faster mobilization and a far greater cavalry corps. Reforms in taxation provided the empire with stability and a much stronger economy, allowing prolonged military campaigns as well as greater revenues for the bureaucracy.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} ====Tax reforms==== Khosrow's tax reforms have been praised by several scholars, the most notable of whom is F. Altheim.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} The tax reforms, which were started under Kavad I and completely implemented by Khosrow, greatly strengthened the royal court.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} Prior to Khosrow and Kavad's reigns, a majority of the land was owned by [[seven Parthian clans|seven Parthian families]]: [[House of Suren|Suren]], Waraz, [[House of Karen|Karen]], [[House of Ispahbudhan|Ispahbudhan]], [[House of Spandiyadh|Spandiyadh]], [[House of Mihran|Mihran]] and Zik.{{sfn|Curtis|Stewart|2008|p=126}} These great landowners enjoyed tax exemptions from the Sasanian empire, and were tax collectors within their local provincial areas.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} With the outbreak of the Mazdakite revolution, there was a great uprising of peasants and lower-class citizens who grabbed large portions of land under egalitarian values. As a result of this there was great confusion on land possession and ownership. Khosrow surveyed all the land within the empire indiscriminately and began to tax all land under a single program. Tax revenues that previously went to the local noble family now went to the central government treasury.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} The fixed tax that Khosrow implemented created a more stable form of income for the treasury. Because the tax did not vary, the treasury could easily estimate the year's revenue.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} Prior to Khosrow's tax reforms, taxes were collected based on the yield that the land had produced. The new system calculated and averaged taxation based on the water rights for each piece of property. Lands which grew [[Phoenix dactylifera|date palms]] and [[olive|olive trees]] used a slightly different method of taxation based on the amount of producing trees that the land contained.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} These tax reforms of Khosrow were the stepping stone which enabled subsequent reforms in the bureaucracy and the military to take place. ====Administrative reforms==== The hallmark of Khosrow's bureaucratic reform was the creation of a new social class. Before, the Sasanian Empire consisted of only three social classes, magi, nobles and peasants/commoners. Khosrow added a fourth class to this hierarchy between the nobles and the peasants, called the [[dehqan|dehqans]].{{sfn|Pourshariati|2008|p=500}} The dehqans were small land owning citizens of the Sasanian Empire and were considered lower nobility. Khosrow promoted honest government officials based on trust and honesty, rather than corrupt nobles and magi.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|pp=230–230}} The small landowning deghans were favored over the high nobles because they tended to be more trustworthy and owed their loyalty to the Shah for their position in the bureaucracy.{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=29}} The rise of deghans became the backbone of the empire because they now held the majority of land and positions in local and provincial administration.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} The reduction of power of the great families improved the empire. This was because previously, each great family ruled a large chunk of land and had their own king. The name Shahanshah, meaning King of Kings, derived from the fact that there were many [[feudalism|feudal]] kings in Sasanian Iran with the Shahanshah as the ruler of them all. Their fall meant their power was redirected to the central government and all taxes now went to the central government rather than to the local nobility. ===Military reforms=== Major reforms to the military made the Iranian army capable of fighting sustained wars, battling on multiple fronts, and deploy itself faster.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=229}} Prior to Khosrow's reign, much like other aspects of the empire, the military was dependent on the feudal lords of the great families to provide soldiers and cavalry. Each family would provide their own army and equipment when called by the Shahanshah. This system was replaced with the emergence of the lower deghan nobility class, who was paid and provided by the central government.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} The main force of the Sasanian army was the [[Aswaran]] cavalry. Previously only nobles could enlist into the Aswaran cavalry which was very limited and created shortages in well trained soldiers. Now that the [[dehqan]] class was considered nobility, they were able to join the cavalry force and boosted the number of cavalry force significantly.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=229}} The military reform focused more on organization and training of troops. The cavalry was still the most important aspect of the Iranian military, with foot archers being less important, and mass peasant forces being on the bottom of the spectrum. Khosrow made four military districts with a ''[[spahbed]]'', or general, in charge of each district.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} Before the reforms of Khosrow, the general of the Iranians (''[[Eran-spahbed]]'') controlled the military of the entire empire.{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=124}} The four zones consisted of Mesopotamia in the west, the [[Caucasus]] region in the north, the [[Persian Gulf]] in the central and southwest region, and Central Asia in the east. This new quadripartition of the Empire not only created a more efficient military system but also "[administration] of a vast, multiregional, multicultural, and multiracial empire".{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=229}} ====Equipment==== During Khosrow's reign, a "list" for equipment for the cavalry (''[[aswaran]]'') was written. The list comprised a helmet, a gorget, a chain mail shirt, a lamellar coat or cuirass, leg armour, gauntlets, sword, shield, two bows with spare strings, 30 arrows, axe or mace, and horse armour.<ref name="Bivar 1972 271–291">{{cite journal|last=Bivar|first=ADH|title=Cavalry equipment and tactics on the Euphrates frontier|journal=Dumbarton Oaks Papers|year=1972|volume=26|pages=271–291|doi=10.2307/1291323|jstor=1291323}}</ref> Sasanian bullae showing the four spahbeds show that horses were still fully armoured during this period and heavy cavalry tactics were still used by the Sasanian cavalry.

His offer was rejected, and as a result he captured and sacked the city.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=104}} Justinian sued for peace, and made a treaty with Khosrow that the Iranians would withdraw back to their domains in return for a payment of 50 ''centenaria'' plus 5 ''centenaria'' extra each year.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=106}} Part of treaty also included that the Byzantine envoys were to be hostages of Khosrow as an assurance that the Byzantines would honor the agreement.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=106}} However, before departing, Khosrow went to the port of Antioch, [[Seleucia Pieria]], where he bathed in the [[Mediterranean Sea]].{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=106}} He then told the envoys that he wished to visit the city of [[Apamea, Syria|Apamea]] out of interest, which they reluctantly allowed him, with the condition that he would leave for his domains afterwards.<ref name="PROXI">Procopius, [http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16764/16764-h/16764-h.htm XI].</ref> There he held chariot races, where he made the Blue Faction—which was supported by Justinian—lose against the rival Greens.<ref name="PROXI" /> Khosrow extracted tribute from Apamea and other Byzantine towns, at which point Justinian called off his truce and prepared to send his commander [[Belisarius]] to move against the Sasanians.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} ====Lazic War==== {{main|Lazic War}} {{Content|date=September 2022}} [[File:Lazica in Late Antiquity.svg|thumb|Map of [[Lazica]]]] In spring 541, Khosrow brought his army north to [[Lazica]] on request of the Lazic king [[Gubazes II of Lazica|Gubazes II]] to repel the Byzantines from his territory. The fortress of [[Petra, Lazica|Petra]] was afterwards [[Siege of Petra (541)|captured by Khosrow's forces]], and a protectorate was established over the country.{{sfn|Frye|1984}}<ref>{{harvnb|Martindale|1992|pp=559, 639}}; {{harvnb|Bury|1958|pp=101–102}}.</ref> At the same time, [[Belisarius]] arrived in Mesopotamia and [[Battle of Nisibis (541)|began besieging]] the city of [[Nusaybin|Nisibis]]. Although Belisarius had greatly outnumbered the city garrison, the city was too well fortified and he was forced to [[Siege of Sisauranon (541)|ravage the country]] around the Nisibis, subsequently getting recalled back west.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} After [[Battle of Anglon|successful campaigns]] in Armenia, Khosrow was encouraged once again to attack Syria. Khosrow turned south towards [[Edessa, Mesopotamia|Edessa]] and [[Siege of Edessa (544)|besieged the city]]. Edessa was now a much more important city than Antioch was, and the garrison which occupied the city was able to resist the siege.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} The Iranians were forced to retreat from Edessa, but were able to forge a five-year truce with the Byzantine Empire in 545.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} Three years into the five-year truce (548), rebellion against Sasanian control broke out in Lazica. In response, a Byzantine army was sent to support the people of Lazica, effectively ending the established truce and thus continuing the Lazic Wars.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} Sometime later, Khosrow, who was keen to wrest Dara from Byzantine control, and would do so even if he risked to break the truce they had made regarding Mesopotamia, tried to capture it by tricking them; he sent one of highest officials, [[Izadgushasp]], as a diplomat to [[Constantinople]], but in reality the latter would stop by Dara, and with the aid of his large crew, he would seize the city. However, this plan was prevented by a former adviser of Belisarius named George, who demanded that if Izadgushasp should enter the city he should have only twenty members of his crew with him. Izadgushasp then left the city and continued his journey to Constantinople, where he was amicably welcomed by Justinian, who gave him some gifts.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=123}} In 549 the previous truce between Justinian and Khosrow was disregarded and full war broke out once again between Iranians and Romans. The last major decisive battle of the Lazic wars came in 556 when Byzantine general Martin defeated a massive Sasanian force led by an Iranian ''nakhvaegan'' (field marshal).{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=236}} Negotiations between Khosrow and Justinian opened in 556, leading to the [[Fifty-Year Peace Treaty]] in 562 in which Iranians would leave Lazica in return for an annual payment of gold.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} According to ancient historian Menander Protector, a minor official in Justinian's court, there were 12 points to the treaty, stated in the following passage:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sasanika.org/wp-content/uploads/Menander6-1.pdf |title=Meander Protector.

Through the pass at the place called Tzon and through the Caspian Gates the Persians shall not allow the Huns or Alans or other barbarians access to the Roman Empire, nor shall the Romans either in that area or on any other part of the Persian frontier send an army against the Persians. 2. The Saracen allies of both states shall themselves also abide by these agreements and those of the Persians shall not attack the Romans, nor those of the Romans the Persians. 3. Roman and Persian merchants of all kinds of goods, as well as similar tradesmen, shall conduct their business according to the established practice through the specified customs posts. 4. Ambassadors and all others using the public post to deliver messages, both those traveling to Roman and those to Persian territory, shall be honoured each according to his status and rank and shall receive the appropriate attention. They shall be sent back without delay, but shall be able to exchange the trade goods which they have brought without hindrance or any impost. 5. It is agreed that Saracen and all other barbarian merchants of either state shall not travel by strange roads but shall go by Nisibis and Daras, and shall not cross into foreign territory without official permission. But if they dare anything contrary to the agreement (that is to say, if they engage in tax-dodging, so-called), they shall be hunted down by the officers of the frontier and handed over for punishment together with the merchandise which they are carrying, whether Assyrian or Roman. 6. If anyone during the period of hostilities defected either from the Romans to the Persians or from the Persians to the Romans and if he should give himself up and wish to return to his home, he shall not be prevented from so doing and no obstacle shall be put in his way. But those who in time of peace defect and desert from one side to the other shall not be received, but every means shall be used to return them, even against their will, to those from whom they fled. 7. Those who complain that they have suffered some hurt at the hands of subjects of the other state shall settle the dispute equitably, meeting at the border either in person or through their own representatives before the officials of both states, and in this manner the guilty party shall make good the damage. 8. Henceforth, the Persians shall not complain to the Romans about the fortification of Daras. But in future neither state shall fortify or protect with a wall any place along the frontier, so that no occasion for dispute shall arise from such an act and the treaty be broken. 9. The forces of one state shall not attack or make war upon a people or any other territory subject to the other, but without inflicting or suffering injury shall remain where they are so that they too might enjoy the peace. 10. A large force, beyond what is adequate to defend the town, shall not be stationed at Daras, and the general of the East shall not have his headquarters there, in order that this not lead to incursions against or injury to the Persians. It was agreed that if some such should happen, the commander at Daras should deal with the offense. 11. If a city causes damage to or destroys the property of a city of the other side not in legitimate hostilities and with a regular military force but by guile and theft (for there are such godless men who do these things to provide a pretext for war), it was agreed that the judges stationed on the frontiers of both states should make a thorough investigation of such acts and punish them. If these prove unable to check the damage that neighbours are inflicting on each other, it was agreed that the case should be referred to the general of the East on the understanding that if the dispute were not settled within six months and the plaintiff had not recovered his losses, the offender should be liable to the plaintiff for a double indemnity. It was agreed that if the matter were not settled in this way, the injured party should send a deputation to the sovereign of the offender. If within one year the sovereign does not give satisfaction and the plaintiff does not receive the double indemnity due to him, the treaty shall be regarded as broken in respect of this clause. 12. Here you might find prayers to God and imprecations to the effect that may God be gracious and ever an ally to him who abides by the peace, but if anyone with deceit wishes to alter any of the agreements, may God be his adversary and enemy. 13. The treaty is for fifty years, and the terms of the peace shall be in force for fifty years, the year being reckoned according to the old fashion as ending with the three hundred and sixty-fifth day.}} ===War in the East=== [[File:Sasanian expansion in the east under Kavad I and Khosrow I.svg|thumb|Sasanian expansion in the east]] With a stable peace agreement with the Byzantines in the west, Khosrow was now able to focus his attention on the eastern Hephthalites{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=238}} and end their domination over [[Central Asia]].{{sfn|Shahbazi|2005}} Even with the growth of Iranian military power under Khosrow's reforms, the Sasanians were still uneasy at the prospect of attacking the [[Hephthalite]] on their own and began to seek allies.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=238}} Their answer came in the form of [[Turkic peoples|Turkic]] incursions into Central Asia.{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=30}} The movement of Turkic people into Central Asia very quickly made them natural enemies and competitors to the Hephthalites.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=238}} The Hephthalites were a strong military power but they lacked the organization to fight on multiple fronts.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=238}} The Sasanians and the [[First Turkic Khaganate]] made an alliance and in 557 launched a two pronged attack on the Hephthalites, taking advantage of their disorganization and disunity. The Hephthalite Empire was destroyed after the [[battle of Gol-Zarriun]], and broke into several minor kingdoms around the Oxus. The Hephthalite king Ghadfar and what was left of his men fled southward to Sasanian territory, where they took refuge.{{sfn|Rezakhani|2017|pp=141-142}} Meanwhile, the Turkic [[Khagan]] [[Istämi|Sinjibu]] reached an agreement with the Hephthalite nobility, and appointed [[Faghanish]], the ruler of [[Chaghaniyan]], as the new Hephthalite king.{{sfn|Rezakhani|2017|p=142}} [[File:KhosrauITokharistanCoinHistoryofIran.jpg|left|thumb|Later imitation of a drachm of Khosrow I from the [[Surkhan Darya]] valley, [[Tokharistan]], a region that was lost during the reign of [[Peroz I]], but was later reconquered by Khosrow I.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Zeimal' |first1=E.

When he reached the place, he was met by a Turkic delegate of Sinjibu that presented him gifts.{{sfn|Rezakhani|2017|p=142}} There Khosrow asserted his authority and military potency, and persuaded the Turks to make an alliance with him. The alliance contained a treaty that made it obligatory for Faghanish to be sent to the Sasanian court in [[Ctesiphon]] and gain the approval of Khosrow for his status as Hephthalite king.{{sfn|Rezakhani|2017|p=142}} Faghanish and his kingdom of Chaghaniyan thus became a vassal of the Sasanian Empire, which set the [[Amu Darya|Oxus]] as the eastern frontier the Sasanians and Turks.{{sfn|Litvinsky|Dani|1996|pp=176-177}}{{sfn|Bivar|2003|pp=198-201}} However, friendly relations between Turks and Sasanians quickly deteriorated after that. Both Turks and Iranians wanted to dominate the [[Silk Road]] and the trade industry between the west and the far east.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} In 562 Khosrow II defeated the [[Hephthalites]] once again, and then stopped the threat of the Turks.{{sfn|Shahbazi|2005}} In 568 a Turkic embassy was sent to Byzantine to propose an alliance and two pronged attack on the Sasanian Empire. Fortunately for the Sasanians, nothing ever came from this proposal.{{sfn|Dignas|Winter|2007|p=115}} Later in 569/570, Sinjibu attacked and pillaged Sasanian border lands, but a treaty was soon signed.{{sfn|Shahbazi|2005}} Khosrow then sent a [[House of Mihran|Mihranid]] named [[Mihransitad]], to estimate the quality of the daughter of the Turkic Khagan.{{sfn|Pourshariati|2008|p=103}} According to Armenian sources her name was Kayen,<ref>Ter-Mkrticnyan L.H. Armyanskiye istochniki - Sredney Azii V - VII vv., p. 57.</ref> while Persian sources states that her name was Qaqim-khaqan.<ref>The Farsnama of Ibnu'l-Balkhi, pp. 24, 94.</ref> After Mihransitad's visit in [[Central Asia]], Khosrow married Qaqim-khaqan. According to some sources, [[Hormizd IV]], the successor of Khosrow, was the son of the Turkic princess. However, ''[[Encyclopædia Iranica]]'' states that the "marriage with the daughter of the Turkic khaqan is chronologically impossible", and says that Hormizd was born in 540, thirty years before Khosrow's marriage.{{sfn|Shahbazi|2005}} ===Campaign in Yemen against Abyssinia=== {{further|Abyssinian–Persian wars}} In 522, before Khosrow's reign, a group of miaphysite [[Ethiopia]]ns led an attack on the dominant [[Himyarite Kingdom|Himyarites]] of southern Arabia. The local Arab leader blunted the attack, and appealed to the Sasanians for aid, while the Ethiopians subsequently turned towards the Byzantines for help. The Ethiopians sent another force across the [[Red Sea]], killed the Arab leader, and crowned an Ethiopian king of the region.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} In 531, Justinian suggested that the Ethiopians of [[Yemen]] end the Sasanians maritime trade with the Indians. The Ethiopians never met this request because an Ethiopian general named [[Abraha]] took control of the Yemenite throne and created an independent nation.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} After Abraha's death one of his sons, Ma'd-Karib, went into exile while his half-brother took the throne. After being denied by Justinian, Ma'd-Karib sought help from Khosrow, who sent a small fleet and army under commander [[Vahrez]] to depose the current king of Yemen. After capturing the capital city San'a'l, Ma'd-Karib's son, Saif enthroned.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} Justinian was ultimately responsible for Sasanian maritime presence in Yemen. By not providing the Yemenite Arabs support, Khosrow was able to help Ma'd-Karib and subsequently established Yemen as a principality of the Sasanian Empire.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=237}} ===War with the Byzantine Empire, 572–591=== {{further|Byzantine–Sasanian War of 572–591}} Justinian died in 565 and left [[Justin II]] to succeed the throne. In 555, the Sasanian governor of Armenia and a relative of Khosrow, [[Chihor-Vishnasp]] (also known as Suren), built a fire temple at the Armenian capital [[Dvin (ancient city)|Dvin]] and put to death a popular and influential member of the [[Mamikonian|Mamikonian family]]. This execution created tremendous civil unrest and led to a revolt and massacre of the governor including the capture of Dvin in 572. Justin II took advantage of this revolt and used it as an excuse to stop paying annual payments to Khosrow, effectively putting an end to the 51 year peace treaty that was established ten years earlier. Khosrow, who tried to avoid another war, sent a Christian diplomat named Sebokht to Constantinople in order to try to persuade Justin to change his mind. Justin, however, refused to listen to the diplomat, and prepared to help the Armenians, whom he considered his allies, in their war against Khosrow.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=141}} A Byzantine army was sent into Sasanian territory and besieged Nisibis in the same year.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} Meanwhile, Khosrow sent an army under [[Golon Mihran]] to Armenia, but the latter was defeated in [[Taron (historic Armenia)|Taron]] by the Armenian rebel leader Vardan III Mamikonian, who captured his war elephants as war booty. Sometime later, however, Golon Mihran managed to seize [[Angl]]. During the same time, the [[Siunia dynasty|Siunian]] prince Vahan asked for Khosrow's permission that he could move his court from Dvin to the capital of [[Paytakaran]], a region in eastern Armenia. Furthermore, Vahan also requested that Paytakaran should be merged with the [[Adurbadagan]] province. Khosrow accepted, and did what he asked.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=149}} In 573, Khosrow sent an army under [[Adarmahan]] to invade [[Syria (Roman province)|Syria]], while he himself along with the three [[House of Mihran|Mihranid]] military officers [[Izadgushasp]], [[Fariburz]] and [[Bahram Chobin]]{{sfn|Shahbazi|1988|pp=514–522}}{{sfn|Pourshariati|2008|pp=102}} led an army towards [[Dara (Mesopotamia)|Dara]], where they captured the city after four months, while Adarmahan sacked several cities in Syria, which included [[Apamea, Syria|Apamea]].<ref>{{harvnb|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|pp=146–149, 150}}</ref> Justin reportedly lost his mind after these Byzantine disasters, and abdicated. He was succeeded by [[Tiberius II Constantine|Tiberius]], a high-ranking military officer in 578.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=240}} Khosrow invaded Armenia once again feeling that he had the upper hand, and was initially successful. Soon after, the tables turned and the Byzantines gained a lot of local support. This made the Sasanians attempt another truce. However, sometime later, Khosrow, with an army consisting of 12,000 Iranian soldiers including a combined of [[Sabir people|Sabir]]-[[Arabs|Arab]] soldiers numbering 8,000 sent by his allies, ravaged the places around [[Resaina]] and [[Viranşehir|Constantia]] in Syria, thus turning the tables once more.{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=160}} During the same time, one of Khosrow's chief generals, [[Tamkhosrau]], managed to trick Maurice by faking an invasion of Theodosiopolis, and then plundered the countryside of [[Silvan, Diyarbakır|Martyropolis]] and [[Amida (Mesopotamia)|Amida]].{{sfn|Greatrex|Lieu|2002|p=161}} However, the tables of the war quickly turned again when the newly appointed Byzantine supreme-commander [[Maurice (emperor)|Maurice]] entered the field and captured many Sasanian settlements.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} The revolt came to an end when Khosrow gave amnesty to Armenia and brought them back into the Sasanian empire. Peace negotiations were once again brought back up, but abruptly ended with the death of Khosrow in 579,{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|pp=240–241}} who was succeeded by his son [[Hormizd IV]]. == Religious policy == [[File:Church of Saint John the Arab.jpg|thumb|The remains of a 6th-century [[Church of the East|Nestorian church]] in [[Andaç, Uludere|Geramon]]]] Khosrow, like all other Sasanian rulers, was an adherent of [[Zoroastrianism]].{{sfn|Payne|2015a|p=2}} Since the 5th century, the Sasanian monarchs had been made aware of the significance of the religious minorities in the realm, and as a result tried to homogenize them into a structure of administration where according to legal principles, all would be treated straightforwardly as ''mard / zan ī šahr'', i.e. "man/woman citizen (of the Empire)."{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=56}} [[Jews]] and notably Christians had accepted the concept of Iran and considered themselves part of the nation.{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=56}} By the time of Khosrow, the leader of the [[Church of the East]] had the title of "[[Catholicos]] of Iran" (''Ērān Cathollicos'').{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=27}} Sasanian monarchs only persecuted other religions when it was in their urgent political interests to do.{{sfn|Sauer|2017|p=190}} This also applied to Khosrow, who, in the words of Eberhard Sauer, had to "walk a fine line".{{sfn|Sauer|2017|p=190}} Khosrow himself used the church considerably, and was fond of its [[Patriarch of the Church of the East|Patriarch]], [[Aba I]], whom he wanted to defend against the Zoroastrian priests.{{sfn|Sauer|2017|p=190}} Nevertheless, Aba was accused of working with the Byzantines, which was a serious allegation due to the war that had begun in 540.{{sfn|Sauer|2017|p=190}} Consequently, in 542, Aba was dismissed from his post, but was only exiled instead of being executed.{{sfn|Sauer|2017|p=190}} Khosrow even enjoyed good relations with [[Gregory the Commander|Gregory]], the [[House of Mihran|Mihranid]] commander of the Iranian troops in the [[Caucasus]], who had showily disowned Zoroastrianism in front of other troops massed at a feast in 518.{{sfn|Payne|2015a|pp=51-52}} This resulted in discontent amongst members of the court, who pressured Khosrow to deal with an apostate from such a powerful and influential family, stating that "It is a great dishonor for the religion of the [[Magi]]ans that such a great man from the lineage of the house of Mihran, who have always been servants of [[Ahura Mazda|Ohrmazd]], now becomes a servant of [[Christ]]."{{sfn|Payne|2015a|p=52}} Khosrow was thus forced to have Gregory relieved and incarcerated, yet the Mihranids deemed Khosrow's choice insufficient.{{sfn|Payne|2015a|p=52}} A son of Gregory's paternal uncle, Mihran, asked Khosrow to execute Gregory for "bringing dishonor to our lineage".{{sfn|Payne|2015a|p=52}} The latter was in a good position to make such request, due to recently having defeated the Hephthalites in the east; Gregory was eventually executed.{{sfn|Payne|2015a|p=52}} Khosrow did however deal harshly and swiftly with people with of any belief or practice that ran contrary to Sasanian-mediated Zoroastrian orthodoxy.{{sfn|Payne|2015a|p=35}} Aberrance in ceremony and principle exceeded [[apostasy]] as "a social and political evil in undermining the foundations of the imperial religion (Payne)."{{sfn|Payne|2015a|p=34}} According to Khosrow's supposed autobiographical work of ''Sirat Anushirwan'', he had a party of nobles practicing unorthodoxy executed instantly when he found out about them.{{sfn|Payne|2015a|p=34}} According to the book, Khosrow also had another group−supposedly [[Manichaeans]]−banished from Iran.{{sfn|Payne|2015a|p=34}} This was due to the royal anxieties regarding the chance of religious rogues to upset the political structure, which had recently occurred during Kavad and Khosrow's reigns by the Mazdakites.{{sfn|Payne|2015a|p=34}} == Constructions == [[File:001125-TaqKasra-Iraq-IMG 7914-2.jpg|thumb|The ruins of the [[Taq-e Kasra]] today]] Khosrow is known to have ordered many public works projects during his long reign, such bridges, roads, dams and walls.{{sfn|Kia|2016|p=261}} To protect the frontiers of Iran, Khosrow had a sequence of walls built (and fortified) around his empire, much like the [[Great Wall of China]] and [[Hadrian's Wall]] in [[Northern England]].<ref name="Daryaee 2014 29">{{harvnb|Daryaee|2014|p=29}};

An entry in the [[Chronicle of Séert]] reads: {{Blockquote|Khosrau was very learned in philosophy, which he had studied, it is said, under Mar Bar Samma, the Syriac bishop of Qardu, and under [[Paul the Persian]].<ref>[[Addai Scher]], ed., ''Histoire Nestorienne (Chronique de Seért)'', [https://archive.org/details/patrologiaorient07pariuoft Patrologia Orientalis 7] (1910), 147.</ref>}} Khosrow I is known for saying a philosophic quote that follows: {{Centered pull quote|We examined the customs of our forebears, but, concerned with the discovery of the truth, we [also] studied the customs and conducts of the Romans and Indians and accepted those among them which seemed reasonable and praiseworthy, not merely likeable. We have not rejected anyone because they belonged to a different religion or people. And having examined "the good customs and laws of our ancestors as well as those of the foreigners, we have not declined to adopt anything which was good nor to avoid anything which was bad. Affection for our forebears did not lead us to accept customs which were not good.{{sfn|Shahbazi|2005}}}} Khosrow I accepted refugees coming from the Eastern Roman Empire when Justinian closed the neo-Platonist schools in Athens in 529.{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=30}} He was greatly interested in Indian philosophy, science, mathematics, and medicine. He sent multiple embassies and gifts to the Indian court and requested them to send back philosophers to teach in his court in return.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=241}} Khosrow made many translations of texts from [[Greek language|Greek]], [[Sanskrit]], and [[Syriac language|Syriac]] into [[Middle Persian]].{{sfn|Frye|1984}} He received the title of "Plato's Philosopher King" by the Greek refugees that he allowed into his empire because of his great interest in [[Platonism|Platonic philosophy]].{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=30}} [[Theodor Nöldeke|Nöldeke]] states that Khosrow I was "certainly one of the most efficient and best kings that the [[Iranian peoples|Iranians]] have ever had".{{sfn|Shahbazi|2005}} A synthesis of Greek, Iranian, Indian, and Armenian learning traditions took place within the Sasanian Empire. One outcome of this synthesis created what is known as [[bimaristan]], the first hospital that introduced a concept of segregating wards according to pathology. Greek pharmacology fused with Iranian and Indian traditions resulted in significant advances in medicine.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=241}} According to historian Richard Frye, this great influx of knowledge created a renaissance during, and proceeding Khosrow's reign.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} [[File:King Khosrow sits before the chessboard, while his vizir and the envoy of Qannuj are playing chess.

The [[vizier]] of the Indian king invented chess as a cheerful, playful challenge to King Khosrow. It seems that the Indian ruler who sent the game of chess to Khosrow was the [[Maukhari dynasty|Maukhari]] King [[Śarvavarman]] of [[Kannauj]], between the beginning of Śarvavarman's reign in 560/565 and the end of Khosrow's reign in 579.<ref name="ME">{{cite book |last1=Eder |first1=Manfred A.

The [[Middle Persian]] encyclopaedia [[Denkard]] states that during the reign of [[Shapur I]] writings of this kind were collected and added to the [[Avesta]]. And an atmosphere of vivid reflection and discussion at the early Sasanian court in the third century AD is reflected in such accounts.{{sfn|Daryaee|2014|p=83}} The foundation of the Academy of Gondishapur introduced the studies of philosophy, medicine, physics, poetry, rhetoric, and astronomy into the Sasanian court.<ref name="Taylor 2010"/> According to some historical accounts, this famous learning center was built in order to provide a place for incoming Greek refugees to study and share their knowledge.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=241}} Gundeshapur became the focal point of the combination of Greek and Indian sciences along with Iranian and [[Classical Syriac|Syriac]] traditions.

The local officials and great noble families resented the fact that their power had been stripped away from them and began to quickly regain power after his death.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} Khosrow's reign had a major impact on [[Islam]]ic culture and political life. Many of his policies and reforms were brought into the Islamic nation in their transformation from a decentralized confederation into a centralized empire.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} There are a considerable number of Islamic works that were inspired by the reign of Khosrow I, for example the ''Kitab al-Taj'' of [[Al-Jahiz|Jahiz]]. The high number of Islamic texts referring to Khosrow's reign can make it hard to distinguish fact from fallacy.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} During his reign the Silk Road between ancient China, India and the western world was promoted and possibly even created.{{sfn|Farrokh|2007|p=241}} Richard Frye argues that Khosrow's rationale behind his numerous wars with the Byzantine empire as well as the eastern Hephthalites was to establish the Sasanian dominance on this trade route.{{sfn|Frye|1984}} == Family tree == {{Tree chart/start}} {{Tree chart| | | | | | | | | | | | | | KA1 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | KA1 = [[Kavad I]]<br />({{reign|488|496|498|531}}) | border=1}} {{Tree chart| | | | | | | | |,|-|-|-|v|-|^|-|v|-|-|-|.| | | | | | | | |}} {{Tree chart| | | | | | | | KAU | | ZAM | | XER | | KH1 | | | | | | | | | KAU = [[Kawus]]<br /> | ZAM = Zamasp<br /> | XER = [[Xerxes (Sasanian prince)|Xerxes]] | KH1 = '''Khosrow I'''<br />({{reign|531|579}}) | border=1}} {{Tree chart| | | | | | | | |!| | | |!| | | | | | | |!| | | | | | | | |}} {{Tree chart| | | | | | | | SHQ | | KQA | | | | | | |!| | | | | | | | | | | | SHQ = Shapur | KQA = Kavad | border=1}} {{Tree chart| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |!| | | | | | | | |}} {{Tree chart| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |!| | | | | | | | | | | border=1}} {{Tree chart| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |,|-|-|-|v|-|^|-|.| | | | | | |}} {{Tree chart| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ANO | | HO4 | | YAZ | | | | | ANO = [[Anushzad]] | HO4 = [[Hormizd IV]]<br />({{reign|579|590}}) | YAZ = Yazdandad | border=1}} {{Tree chart/end}} ==Notes== {{notelist}} ==References== {{Reflist|30em}} == Bibliography == === Ancient works === *[[Procopius]], ''History of the Wars''. === Modern works === * {{cite book | last = Axworthy | first = Michael | author-link = Michael Axworthy | title = A History of Iran: Empire of the Mind | year = 2008 | publisher = Basic Books | location = New York | pages = 1–368| isbn = 978-0-465-00888-9 }} * {{Encyclopaedia Iranica |volume=12 |fascicle=2 |article=Hephthalites |last=Bivar |first=A.
