It is recorded in the Târikh of Hâfez Abru that after the reign of Azarmidukht, the Persians were in search of a man of royal blood, until they heard that one was living in Ahvâz, Kesra by name, and a descendant of Ardeshir Bâbeg. Accordingly they seated the poor fellow on the throne, but as he was too ignorant and weak to reign, the soldiers were disappointed in their hopes, and killed him without any guilt of his own.
