Kavadh I ((ペルシア語:قباد) ''Qobād'') (''c''. 473〔 – September 13, 531〔http://global.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/313506/Kavadh-I〕) was the Sassanid king of Persia from 488 to 531. A son of Peroz I (457–484), he was crowned by the nobles in place of his deposed and blinded uncle Balash (484–488). His reign saw the uprising of Vakhtang I of Iberia, as well as the Anastasian War and the Iberian War against the Sasanids' arch rival, the neighboring Byzantines. During Kavadh's reign, the name of the Iranian city of Derbent (دربند ''Darband'') meaning "gateway" in modern-day Dagestan (North Caucasus), seems to have come into use, which has ever since been the name of the city since it was founded by Sasanid Iran. ==Early life and accession== Kavadh was born in 473.〔 After the Sasanian disaster at the battle of Herat, only few members of the royal line remained; according to Procopius, of the ca. 30 sons of Peroz I. He was, however, in captivity under the Hephthalites, and was later rescued by the Karenid Sukhra, who managed to defeat their leader Khush-Newaz. After this victory, Kavadh and Sukhra returned to Ctesiphon, where Balash was crowned as king of the Empire. However, in reality it was Sukhra who had control over the Sasanian Empire. Gushnaspdad, the ''kanarang'' of Abarshahr, urged the Sasanian nobles to have Kavadh executed.〔Pourshariati (2008), pp. 268–269〕 However, the Sasanian nobles declined the suggestion and instead had Kavadh imprisoned. He later managed to escape and took refugee in Central Asia. In 488, Kavadh returned to Persia with the aid of the Hephthalites,〔''The Hephthalite Empire'', B.A. Litvinsky, ''History of Civilizations of Central Asia: The crossroads of civilizations'', volume 3, Ed. Vadim Mikhaĭlovich Masson, (UNESCO, 1996), 140.〕 and was joined by other Sasanian nobles, who included Adergoudounbades, a relative of Gushnaspdad. During the revolt of Kavadh, Sukhra told Balash that he was unsuitable to rule as the king of Ērānshahr and had him deposed in favor of Kavadh.〔Pourshariati (2008), p. 78〕 The new Sasanian king then had Gushnaspdad executed,〔Pourshariati (2008), p. 268〕 and he was replaced by Adergoudounbades as ''kanarang''.〔 Even after the ascension of a new Sasanian king, Sukhra still possessed a massive amount of power; according to Ferdowsi, Sukhra controlled all except the kingly crown.〔Pourshariati (2008), p. 79〕 Al-Tabari says the following thing about Sukhra's power: "Sukhra was in charge of government of the kingdom and the management of affairs. The people came to Sukhra and undertook all their dealings with him, treating Kavadh as a person of no importance and regarding his commands with contempt."〔 In 493 Kavadh tried to reduce the power of Sukhra by sending him to his native city in Pars, and later, with the aid of Shapur of Ray, defeated Sukhra's loyalists, and captured the latter. Sukhra was then brought to Ctesiphon where he was executed.〔(''KAWĀD I i.
