THE POLITICAL AND MILITARY ROLE OF THE COMMANDER BAHRAM JOBIN DURING THE REIGN OF THE TWO KINGS HORMUZ BIN KHUSRA ANSHERWAN AND KASRA ABRUIZ (588-- 591 A.D).

Abstract

The stage in which the commander Bahram Jobin appeared is one of the important stages in the history of the Sassanid state. This importance stems not only from his military achievements, but also from the dangers, turmoil, and internal conflicts that nearly overthrew the rule of the Sassanid family and threatened the entity and existence of the state.At the beginning of his appearance, he was a successful military leader. King Hormuz IV Ibn Kusra chose him to lead the Sassanid army to confront the danger of the Khaqan al-Turk, whose forces invaded the eastern borders of the Sassanid state. Jobin achieved a great victory that restored the status and prestige of the state. The second phase of his life was distinguished by his revolt against the Sassanid king. He even dared to assume the Sassanid throne after King Hormuz IV deposed him. His movements caused a civil war and foreign intervention represented by the Byzantine Emperor's help to the legitimate heir Khosra Abruise by providing him with an army that helped him regain his throne. The price was that the Sassanid king gave up a number of Byzantine cities. This stage ended with the defeat of Bahram Jobin, his escape to Turkish territory, and his death there.
