  Bahram I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From a Pahlavi inscription we learn that Bahram I was the son (not, as the Greek authors and Tabari say, the grandson) of Shapur I of Persia (241–272)., and succeeded his brother Hormizd I of Persia (272–273), who had only reigned a year.
Bahram I is the king who, by the instigation of the magians, put to a cruel death the prophet Mani, the founder of Manichaeism.
The name Bahram comes from Varahrän, the younger form of the old Verethragna, the name of the ancient Persian God of Victory, and "the killer of the dragon Verethra".

I hope you do not think I am strange but I went to school with someone named Bahram in 1978 and am trying to find out if the obituary in your magazine is his, she told the man on the phone.
Samira remembered that Bahram had left for Texas, the state she had hated before she even had set foot in the U.S. She always considered it the land where the gunslingers had changed their cowboy attires for suits and dresses but underneath it all they were still uncivilized.
Bita laughed and said, "Bahram used to do this because you used to eat an orange in the afternoon and he had noticed it and asked you why it was only in the afternoon.

 Frye.History of Ancient Iran
Bahram's demotion and revolt, attributed to the jealousy of Hormizd in the sources, surely had deeper roots in the unhappiness of the nobility with their ruler, for Bahram was supported by the nobility on all sides.
Legitimacy of the house of Sasan played a role in the erosion of support for the usurper Bahram, and Nisibis was the first important city to defect to Chosroes and his Byzantine allies.
The revolts of Bahram Chobin and Bistam reveal weaknesses in the system of Chosroes I, since the nobility was basically unwilling to support the throne, although they were still conservative enough to demand a Sasanian prince as ruler rather than a usurper to the throne.

 Bahram Baizai, An Unknown Master of Iranian Cinema
Bahram Baizai, born to a literary family in Tehran, in 1937, is one of the most enigmatic figures of the contemporary Iranian cultural scene.
Bahram Baizai is one of the pioneers of the Iranian art cinema of the 80s, even though his reputation beyond the borders of Iran remains far behind those who are known as the pillars of the new wave of Iranian neo-realism.
In this sense, the text of Baizai’s film is not bound within an Iranian nationalist compound and can be easily generalized to any resembling society, namely those with a totalitarian dictatorship or a colonial government, where a wide gap exists between the will of the people and the disposition of the state.

During this sixty minute recording, Bahram presents three of his own compositions, along with three folkloric tunes from his country, played on the Persian santoor and the zarb.
The santoor is a traditional string instrument, which is said to create the sound of emptiness; the zarb is a drum often used to give the rhythm in Persian music.
This collection begins with a soft santoor solo titled 'Prayer', and then moves into 'Sama', where the santoor melts with Bahram's voice singing the words of a poem written by Rumi, inviting the listener to enter the sama, to let the self go into the music.

Bahram Beyzai is one of the pioneers of the Iranian art cinema of the 80s, even though his reputation beyond the borders of Iran remains far behind those who are known as the pillars of the new wave of Iranian neo-realism.
While the works of many of the famous Iranian directors are easily branded as `intellectual’ and are funneled into the stream of a certain audience in Iran, or towards international festivals, Beyzai’s work, multi-faceted and complex, leaves many confused as how to fit his work into any genre.
In this sense, the text of Beyzai’s film is not bound within an Iranian nationalist compound and can be easily generalized to any resembling society, namely those with a totalitarian dictatorship or a colonial government, where a wide gap exists between the will of the people and the disposition of the state.

These people are probably identical to Bahram's relatives Bahram II (276-293), Shapur I (241-272), and Ardašir (224-241), the founder of the Sassanid dynasty.
Probably Bahram II needed to show himself with his ancestors, and with his sword so prominently displayed, because his position was hardly secure at all.
