Bahram Goor's War Trainer Dies
Jan, 13, 473 AD
Monzar bin Naghman, Bahram Goor's trainer who taught him fighting techniques died. Monzar was the governor of Heria, an area near today's Baghdad that was autonomously ruled since the fall of Babylon by Cyrus the great until the war of Ghadesiya in with Caliphate army's invasion of Iran. Iranian rulers were not meddling in their affairs and therefore there was not any confrontation. The only important incident is their invasion of Kerman in 331 which was harshly confronted by Shapour II. Heria used to supply well-trained cavalry units for the Iranian army.
