  Sassanid dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sassanid dynasty (also Sassanian) was the name given to the kings of Persia, which includes much of present-day Iran, during the era of the second Persian Empire, from 224 until 651, when the last Sassanid shah, Yazdegerd III, lost a 14-year struggle to drive out the Umayyad Caliphate, the first of the Islamic empires.
After The Sassanids came to power in Persia in 226 A.D. The second emperor, Shapur I (240-270), extended his authority eastwards into what is today Pakistan and northwestern India and the previously autonomous Kushans were obliged to accept his suzerainty.
Although the Kushan empire declined at the end of the 3rd century, leading to the rise to power of an indigenous Indian dynasty, the Guptas, in the 4th century, it is clear that Sassanid influence remained relevant in the north-west of India.

But in 496 he was deposed and incarcerated in the "Castle of Oblivion (Lethe)" in Susiana, and his brother Jamasp (Zamaspes) was raised to the throne.

He was also a proper adherent of the Mazdesnan religion ((System of religion founded in Persia in the 6th century BC by Zoroaster; set forth in the Zend-Avesta; based on concept of struggle between light (good) and dark (evil)) Zoroastrianism), diversions from which had cost Kavad his throne and freedom.
The sources also tell us that upon the return of Kavad at the head of a large army given to him by the Hephtalite king, Jamasp loyally stepped down from his position and restored the throne to his brother.
No further mention of Jamasp is made after the restoration of Jamasp and we do not have any reason to imagine anything but a favourable treatment of him at the court of his brother.
