Azarmi Dokht, Azram, Azarmi,(630 or 631 AD- ؟) The 32nd Sassanid emperor, the daughter of Khosrow Parviz, after her sister Purandakht, her army took her to the throne in Tisphon..
Azermi Dekht means an ageless girl. The ruler of Khorasan, Lieutenant General Farrokh Hormoz, who was one of the serious contenders for the monarchy, asked the queen to be his wife.. While Azermidokht publicly promised her marriage, he secretly saw the preparation of her murder. (According to a certain culture “Because Azermidakht could not publicly oppose”).
Rostam Farrokh Hormoz, the son of Farrokh Hormoz, led an army to the capital due to his father's bloodlust, and after overthrowing Azermidocht, he blinded and killed the Sassanid queen..
Tabari :
Azermidakht was the daughter of Khosro Parviz, son of Hormuz, son of Kasri Anoushirvan. Govind was one of the most beautiful Persian women, and when she became the king, she said, "Our way is the same as our mighty father's, and whoever opposes us, let us shed his blood.".
It is said that at that time Farrukh Hormoz, the great Persian, was the commander of Khorasan and he sent someone and asked for Azermidakht to become his wife, and he sent a message that it is not permissible for the queen to become someone's wife. come to me.
Farrokh Hormoz was famous for wanting to be beaten and fond of being beaten.
Farrokh Hormoz did so and sat down on the promised night and went to him, and Azermidakht had told the chief of his guards to kill him and throw him in the capital square on the night of the visit, and in the morning they saw Farrokh Hormoz killed and the queen sent him to hide his body. and knew that he had made a big mistake.
Rostam Farrokhzad or Rostam Farrokh Hormoz, the same one who was sent by Yazdgerd III to the Arab war in Khorasan, was his father's successor, and when he heard of his death, he came to Madain with a large army and caught the eye of Azermidakht, killed her and went to He made a bad promise. The duration of the Azermidakht kingdom was six months.
The fact that these two Iranian ladies reached the throne is one of the honors of every Iranian. At the same time, in the Roman Empire, women were not even allowed to participate in political arenas..
Let's not forget that in the Roman Empire, which Europe and America are proud of,. Sometimes the Caesars were killed and succeeded each other even in a short period of a few days..
In many cases, brother by brother and father by son or vice versa .
But again, we don't see the status of women changing from a second class citizen.
In a word, civilization. Iranians / It was the Persians who, both in the Achaemenid period and in the Sassanid period, saw women as high as men.. We do not even witness such a thing in European civilizations.
Some refer to the kingdoms of Puran Dekht and Azermi Dekht to show the Sassanid era as progressive. Prominent historian Dr. Parviz Rajabi has a remark worthy of attention in this regard:
"Porandekht and Azermidakht were both daughters of Khosrow Parviz Sasanian who became Shahi. But the ceremonial and short-lived reign of these two women, who became the tools of the influential and powerful, was because all the men of the royal generation had been killed in the quarrels within the court, and the royal family had become "manless".. These women of the royal family were temporarily assigned to the royal family out of necessity for a short period of time in order to find a solution to the important and vital problem of "not having a man".. Although in the end it is decided that Khosrow Parviz's grandson, Yazdgerd III, will be installed as Shahi; But a bitter fate is set for Azermidakht. Rostam Farrokhzad, who later became one of the commanders of the Iranian army in the war with the Arabs, rapes Azermidakht and then blinds and kills her.. »
