[4] The Armenians that lived under Sasanian rule, requested to Shapur III from him an Arsacid King.
[5] Shapur III delighted from the request of the Armenians and with their consent appointed the Arsacid prince Khosrov IV as King of Armenia.
[7] As a sign to extend his courtesies[8] to Sasanian Armenia, Shapur III gave his sister Zruanduxt[9] to Khosrov IV to marry as his wife.
[10] Through marriage Zruanduxt became a Queen consort, a relation to the ruling Arsacid dynasty of Armenia and a powerful, influential woman in Armenian society.
According to modern genealogies, Zruanduxt and Khosrov IV were the parents of two sons: Tigranes and Arsaces.
