Peroz

Peroz, also known as Peroz, was a prominent figure in the history of the Sassanid Empire, which ruled Persia from the 3rd to the 7th century AD. He is best known for his role as the father of Khosrow I, the first Sassanid king to convert to Christianity. Peroz was a high-ranking official in the Sassanid court and held the title of "marzban," which translates to "governor" or "commander." His conversion to Christianity was a significant event in the empire's history, as it marked the beginning of a period of religious tolerance and coexistence between Christians and Zoroastrians. However, his conversion also led to a power struggle within the Sassanid court, as it challenged the traditional Zoroastrian beliefs and practices. Despite this, Peroz's influence and legacy continue to be studied by historians and scholars today.
