A son of <a href="/wiki/Yazdegerd_II" title="Yazdegerd II">Yazdegerd II</a> (<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><abbr title="reigned">r.</abbr> 438–457</span>), he disputed the rule of his elder brother and incumbent king <a href="/wiki/Hormizd_III" title="Hormizd III">Hormizd III</a> (<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><abbr title="reigned">r.</abbr> 457–459</span>), eventually seizing the throne after a two-year struggle. His reign was marked by war and famine. Early in his reign, he successfully quelled a rebellion in <a href="/wiki/Caucasian_Albania" title="Caucasian Albania">Caucasian Albania</a> in the west, and put an end to the <a href="/wiki/Kidarites" title="Kidarites">Kidarites</a> in the east, briefly expanding Sasanian rule into <a href="/wiki/Tokharistan" title="Tokharistan">Tokharistan</a>, where he issued gold coins with his likeness at <a href="/wiki/Balkh" title="Balkh">Balkh</a>. Simultaneously, Iran was suffering from a seven-year famine. He soon clashed with the former subjects of the Kidarites, the <a href="/wiki/Hephthalites" title="Hephthalites">Hephthalites</a>, who possibly had previously helped him to gain his throne. He was defeated and captured twice by the Hephthalites and lost his recently acquired possessions. </p><p>In 482, revolts broke out in the western provinces of <a href="/wiki/Sasanian_Armenia" title="Sasanian Armenia">Armenia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sasanian_Iberia" title="Sasanian Iberia">Iberia</a>, led by <a href="/wiki/Vahan_Mamikonian" class="mw-redirect" title="Vahan Mamikonian">Vahan Mamikonian</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vakhtang_I_of_Iberia" class="mw-redirect" title="Vakhtang I of Iberia">Vakhtang I</a> respectively. Before Peroz could quell the unrest there, he was defeated and killed in his third war with the Hephthalites in 484, who seized the main Sasanian cities of the eastern region of <a href="/wiki/Greater_Khorasan" title="Greater Khorasan">Khorasan</a>−<a href="/wiki/Nishapur" title="Nishapur">Nishapur</a>, <a href="/wiki/Herat" title="Herat">Herat</a> and <a href="/wiki/Merv" title="Merv">Marw</a>. Taking advantage of the weakened Sasanian authority in the east, the <a href="/wiki/Nezak" class="mw-redirect" title="Nezak">Nezak Huns</a> subsequently seized the region of <a href="/wiki/Zabulistan" title="Zabulistan">Zabulistan</a>. Peroz was the last <span title="Middle Persian-language romanization"><i lang="pal-Latn">shahanshah</i></span> to mint <a href="/wiki/Sasanian_coinage_of_Sindh" title="Sasanian coinage of Sindh">unique gold coins</a> in the <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">Indian</a> region of <a href="/wiki/Sindh" title="Sindh">Sindh</a>, which indicates that the region was lost around the same period. Albeit a devout <a href="/wiki/Zoroastrian" class="mw-redirect" title="Zoroastrian">Zoroastrian</a>, Peroz supported the newly established Christian sect of <a href="/wiki/Nestorianism" title="Nestorianism">Nestorianism</a>, and just before his death, it was declared the official doctrine of the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_the_East" title="Church of the East">Iranian church</a>. </p><p>Peroz's wars against the Hephthalites have been described as "foolhardy" in both contemporary and modern <a href="/wiki/Historiography" title="Historiography">historiography</a>. His defeat and death introduced a period of political, social and religious tumult. The empire reached its lowest ebb; the <span title="Middle Persian-language romanization"><i lang="pal-Latn">shahanshah</i></span> was now a client of the Hephthalites and was compelled to pay tribute, while the nobility and clergy exerted great influence and authority over the nation, being able to act as king-makers. The magnates—most notably <a href="/wiki/Sukhra" title="Sukhra">Sukhra</a> and <a href="/wiki/Shapur_Mihran" title="Shapur Mihran">Shapur Mihran</a>—elected Peroz's brother, <a href="/wiki/Balash" title="Balash">Balash</a>, as the new <span title="Middle Persian-language romanization"><i lang="pal-Latn">shahanshah</i></span>.
