Hormizd VI

Hormizd VI (Middle Persian: 𐭠𐭥𐭧𐭥𐭬𐭦𐭣) was a Sasanian prince who ruled from 630 to 632.

The overthrow and execution of his grandfather Khosrow II (r. 590–628) in 628 led to a civil war that saw many pretenders to the Sasanian throne.

Shortly after, the troops of prominent Sasanian general and usurper Shahrbaraz proclaimed Horizd VI to be king in Nisibis.

He maintained himself about two years in Nisibis,[1] until he was overthrown by the same troops who had previously supported him.

Yazdegerd III, another grandson of Khosrow II, with the support of the nobles, succeeded in becoming the sole ruler of the empire.
