    Hormizd III (Persian: ???? ????), sixteenth Sassanid King of Persia, son of Yazdegerd II (438–457), succeeded his father in 457.[1]

    Hormizd, the older son of Yazdegerd II,[2] was kept near Ctesiphon, while his younger brother, Peroz, was stationed in Sistan.[3] Following his father's death, Hormizd became ruler of the Sassanian Empire. In response, Peroz sought the aid of the Hephthalite monarch, Khush-Nevaz in Bactria. The Hephthalites aided Peroz, who defeated Hormizd[4] and by 459 controlled Ctesiphon making him ruler of the Sassanian Empire.[5]

    Sources differ as to what happened to Hormizd after his capture. Some say that he was put to death in 459.[6]

    However, the Persian historian Mirkhond says that Peroz pardoned his younger brother and amicably spared his life
  • He died in the year 459.
  • A child of Yazdagird II der Sassaniden and Dinak der Perzen
