Notes about Yazdagird I Izdegerdes Sassanid King of Persia

Yasdegerd. Izdegerdes, "made by God." ---------- Yazdegerd I, son of Shapur III, 399-421, called "the sinner" by the Persians, was a highly intelligent ruler, who tried to emancipate himself from the dominion of the magnates and the Magian priests. He punished the nobles severely when they attempted oppression; he stopped the persecution of the Christians and granted them their own organization. With the Roman empire he lived in peace and friendship, and is therefore as much praised by the Byzantine authors as he is blamed by the Persians. After a reign of 20 years he appears to have been murdered in Khurasan. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 23, p. 880, YAZDEGERD ---------- Yazdegerd I (fl. 5th century), king of the Sasanian Empire (reigned 399-420). Yazdegerd was a highly intelligent ruler who tried to emancipate himself from the dominion of the magnates and of the Magi (a priestly caste serving a number of religions); thus, his reign is viewed differently by Christian and Magian sources. Because he stopped the persecution of the Christians, the Christian writers praise his clemency, but the sources dependent on Magian tradition refer to him as "Yazdegerd the Sinner." He also tried to limit the power of the nobles, but their resistance finally was answered with severity. He lived in peace and friendship with the Roman Empire and was therefore praised by Byzantine authors. He appears to have been murdered in Khorasan and was succeeded by one of his sons, Bahram V.
