Khosrau Anoushirvan Becomes Crown Prince

The Sassanid king Ghobad announces his third son Khosrau Anoushirvan crown prince as his successor. Despite the fact that he had 2 elder sons, he pointed out that Anoushirvan was the most suitable for the task. Only 4 years earlier Ghobad had announced great economic reforms for farmers' welfare such as decreasing taxes and building dams under influence of Mazdak teachings. (Updated: Dec, 1, 2007)
