﻿##### Heirs of Ērānšahr — late-Sasanian interregnum claimants & great-house notables #####
# The chaos of 628-632 saw ~13 claimants in four years, including two great-house usurpers:
# Shahrbaraz (House of Mihran) and Farrukh Hormazd / Hormazd V (House of Ispahbudhan).
# These, plus real Ispahbudhan figures (Vistahm, Vinduyih, Rostam Farrokhzad), populate the
# houses and the e_persia succession (history/titles/00_he_e_persia.txt). All H (historical).
