He wis the last king o Persie tae hae a lenthy reign afore the Muslim conquest o Iran, which began five years efter his daith bi execution. He lost his throne, then recovered it wi Roman help, an, a decade later, went on tae emulate the feats o the Achaemenids, conquerin the rich Roman provinces o the Middle East; much o his reign wis spent in wars wi the Byzantine Empire an strugglin against usurpers such as Bahram Chobin an Vistahm.
