Narsi or Narse (), was a Sasanian nobleman who served as the governor of Kaskar. == Biography == Narsi is first mentioned in 628, he, along with his brother Mah-Adhur Gushnasp, was the son of a certain Jushnas, and an unnamed Ispahbudhan noblewoman, who was the sister of Vistahm and Vinduyih. In 628, during the reign of Ardashir III, Narsi was granted with Kaskar as a part of his domains,〔Michael G. Morony, ''Iraq After the Muslim Conquest'', 2005. (p. 157)〕 while his brother Mah-Adhur Gushnasp was elected as minister of the empire, and administered the empire greatly.〔''ARDAŠĪR III'', A. Sh. Shahbazi, Encyclopædia Iranica,(11 August 2011).()〕〔Pourshariati (2008), p. 179〕 One year later, just when stability and peace seems to have begun, Shahrbaraz rebelled with a force of 6,000 men,〔 and marched towards Ctesiphon and besieged the city. Shahrbaraz, however, was unable to capture the city, and then made an alliance with Piruz Khosrow, the leader of the Parsig faction, and the previous minister of the Empire during the reign of Ardashir's father, Kavadh II. He also made an alliance with Namdar Jushnas, the ''spahbed'' of Nemroz.〔Pourshariati (2008), p. 180〕 Shahrbaraz, with the aid of these two powerful figures, captured Ctesiphon, and executed Ardashir III, along with Mah-Adhur Gushnasp, the brother of Narsi. Forty days later, Shahrbaraz was murdered by Farrukh Hormizd, a relative of Narsi, who then made Borandukht, the daughter of Khosrau II, ascend the throne. After a period of coups and revolts, Yazdegerd III was crowned as king of the Sasanian Empire in 632 at Estakhr. With his accession, the civil war in Persia had ended. However, one year later, the Muslim Arabs invaded Persia, and by 634, were getting close to Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sasanian Empire. Rostam Farrokhzad, a relative of Narsi, then sent him along with Jaban to confront the Arabs at Namaraq, a city near Kufa. Narsi and Jaban, were, however, defeated. Narsi then fled along with his army to his territory at Kaskar. Rostam then ordered Narsi: "() off to your estate and protect it from your enemy and our enemy. Be a man."〔Pourshariati (2008), p. 212〕 Narsi then met the Arabs at near Kaskar, and was aided by the sons of Vistahm, Tiruyih and Vinduyih,〔Shapur Shahbazi (1989), (BESṬĀM O BENDŌY )〕 who commanded the flanks of Narsi's army. Shortly before the Sasanian army and the Arab army clashed, Rostam sent Jalinus at the head of an Armenian army to aid Narsi. However, when he arrived to Kaskar, Narsi was defeated and had already fled. The Arabs then defeated the army of Jalinus.〔Pourshariati (2008), p. 213〕 What happened to Narsi afterwards is not known. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Narsi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
