Drustbed
''Drustbed'' was the title of the chief physician in Sasanian Iran (224–651). No mention of the title is made in the early Sasanian period, and all the known holders of the title first lived in the late Sasanian era, which implies that this title was presumably a late Sasanian invention. Non-Zoroastrians were able to obtain the rank, such as the Christian Gabriel of Sinjar, who served as the private physician of Khosrow II Khosrow II (spelled Chosroes II in classical sources; pal, 𐭧𐭥𐭮𐭫𐭥𐭣𐭩, Husrō), also known as Khosrow Parviz (New Persian: , "Khosrow the Victorious"), is considered to be the last great Sasanian king (shah) of Iran, ruling fr ...

Gabriel Of Sinjar
Gabriel of Sinjar ( syc, ܓܒܪܐܝܠ ܕܫܝܓܪ, ') was a court physician (''drustbed'') of the Sasanian shah Khosrow II (). He played a major role in inter-Christian rivalries in the Sasanian empire. Biography Gabriel was born in Sinjar to a Syrian Miaphysite family. According to one account he became a court physician (''drustbed'') after curing the sterility of the shah's favourite wife, Shirin, who eventually gave birth to a son named Mardanshah. Shirin later converted to the Syriac Orthodox Church under Gabriel's influence. Shirin also influenced by Gabriel, tried to replace Dyophysitism (Church of the East) with Miaphysitism as the official form of Christianity in the Iranian empire. Gabriel convinced the shah to prohibit the Church of the East from appointing a new leader after the death of its ''Catholicos'', Gregory. He also tried to exploit the fragmentation of the Church of the East in order to weaken it: he convinced Khosrow II to convene a disputation at his cour ...

Sasanian Iran
The Sasanian () or Sassanid Empire, officially known as the Empire of Iranians (, ) and also referred to by historians as the Neo-Persian Empire, was the last Iranian empire before the early Muslim conquests of the 7th-8th centuries AD. Named after the House of Sasan, it endured for over four centuries, from 224 to 651 AD, making it the longest-lived Persian imperial dynasty. The Sasanian Empire succeeded the Parthian Empire, and re-established the Persians as a major power in late antiquity alongside its neighbouring arch-rival, the Roman Empire (after 395 the Byzantine Empire).Norman A.

Khosrow II
Khosrow II (spelled Chosroes II in classical sources; pal, 𐭧𐭥𐭮𐭫𐭥𐭣𐭩, Husrō), also known as Khosrow Parviz (New Persian: , "Khosrow the Victorious"), is considered to be the last great Sasanian king (shah) of Iran, ruling from 590 to 628, with an interruption of one year. Khosrow II was the son of Hormizd IV (reigned 579–590), and the grandson of Khosrow I (reigned 531–579). He was the last king of Iran to have a lengthy reign before the Muslim conquest of Iran, which began five years after his execution. He lost his throne, then recovered it with the help of the Byzantine emperor Maurice, and, a decade later, went on to emulate the feats of the Achaemenids, conquering the rich Roman provinces of the Middle East; much of his reign was spent in wars with the Byzantine Empire and struggling against usurpers such as Bahram Chobin and Vistahm. After the Byzantines killed Maurice, Khosrow II began a war in 602 against the Byzantines. Khosrow II's forces cap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
