Yazdegerd III

Last Sasanian King from 632 to 651

Yazdegerd III (also Romanized as Yazdgerd, Yazdgird) was the last Sasanian King of Kings from 632 to 651. His death following successive defeats by the Rashidun Caliphate marked the end of the last pre-Islamic Iranian empire after more than four centuries of rule. The son of Sasanian prince Shahriyar and grandson of shah Khosrow II, Yazdegerd was installed on the throne at the age of eight shortly after the murder of his aunt, Boran.
