Shapur-i Shahrvaraz was the son ofShahrbaraz, the distinguished Iranian military commander (spahbed) and briefly shah of Iran. Shapur's mother was the sister ofKhosrow II.[1] In 630, afterBoran was deposed, Shapur became king of Iran, but was shortly deposed by the nobles who did not acknowledge his rule. He was succeeded by his cousinAzarmidokht.
