Topic: Lakhmids


  
  Lakhmids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lakhmid kingdom was a major centre of the Nestorian sect of Christianity which was nurtured by Sassanids, as it opposed the Orthodox sect of Byzantine.
Nevertheless, in 602, the last Lakhmid king, Nu'man III, was put to death by the Sassanid king Khosrau II because of a false suspicion of treason and the Lakhmid kingdom was annexed.
Lakhmids some times had good relations with Persians as Bahram V lived in Al-Hirah and was educated at the court of al-Mundhir I, whose support helped him gain the throne after the assassination of his father.

Al-Noman III (son of Al-Monder IV), the first Christian Lakhmid king, was deposed and killed by Khusrau II, because of his attempt to throw off the Persian tutelage.
After Khusrau's assassination, the Persian empire fractured and the Lakhmids were effectively independent.
It is tenable that weakening the Lakhmids and the Ghassanids bulwark contributed to the consequent Arab-Muslim breakthrough into Iraq and Bahrain (e.g.

Shortly after the establishment of Lakhmid Hira and parallel to it, a Roman buffer state appeared in the northwest, taking in at its height Jordan, Syria and Palmyra: the state of the Arab Ghassanid dynasty.
Yet the Lakhmids returned with more than a little Persian help in 529, al-Harith was killed, and the major tribal groups fell to fighting among themselves over policy and power.
The hated Lakhmids were allies of Persia; he went therefore to Constantinople, with a letter of recommendation from the ruler of the Byzantine client state of Ghassan.

The Lakhmid kingdom was dissolved by the Sassanids in 602, while the Ghassanids would hold out until engulfed by the expansion of Islam.
This Lakhmid kingdom was more or less dependent, during the four centuries of its existence, on the Sassanian empire, to which it formed a sort of buffer state towards Arabia.

 Saudi Aramco World : The King of Ghassan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The investiture of al-Harith ibn Jabala was Justinian's countermove in the endless political and military chess match with the Persian Emperor Chosroes Anushirvan (531-579), who, for years, had subsidized another Arab dynasty—the Lakhmids of Hira, in southern Mesopotamia—as its buffer state in the struggle with the Byzantines.
As a result of Justinian's move, the history of the northern pre-Islamic Arabs was dominated—from 529 to 554—by the wars of al-Harith and al-Mundhir—the also-remarkable leader of the Lakhmids.
And largely because the Ghassanids and Lakhmids were so evenly matched during this period, Byzantium and Persia were stalemated in the Middle East.

The Ghassanids were clients of the Byzantine Empire and the Ethiopians; the Lakhmids were allied with the Persians; and the Kindah cooperated with the Yemenites.
During the wars of the Byzantine and the Persian empires, this population controlled the region south of the Ghassanid and the Lakhmid territories.
The departure of the two major empires of the time and their client states from the scene opened the way to the Bedouin Arabs who poured into central Arabia from all corners and took control of the growing wealth and prestige of the region.

By the fourth century AD, the Arab kingdoms of the Lakhmids in southern Iraq and Ghassanids in southern Syria had emerged just south of the Fertile Crescent and ended up allying respectively with the Sassanid and Byzantine Empires.
However, their courts were responsible for some notable examples of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry, and for some of the few surviving pre-Islamic Arabic inscriptions in the Arabic alphabet.
During the 8th and 9th centuries, the Arabs (specifically the Umayyads, and later Abbasids) forged an empire whose borders touched southern France in the west, China in the east, Asia Minor in the north, and the Sudan in the south.

It was not a coincidence that both the Ghassānids and the Lakhmids were chosen for their respective roles as vassal kingdoms.
Like the Lakhmids, the Ghassānids were also southern tribes who migrated to the Syrian north during the early part of the sixth century

 AcademicDB - How can we account for the spectacular rise of the Arabs?
During and before the conflicts between the Sassanian-Persians and Byzantines over the Arab peninsula, the confederacies of Lakhmid and Ghassanid Arab tribes supported the Persians and Byzantines respectively.
The escalation of the struggle between the empires led to a century of attempts to force closer affiliation with the Arabs, for example the Persians' attempts to impose Zoroastrianism on the Lakhmids, and similar Roman endeavours.
Ultimately, this caused the alienation of Arab groups from their paymasters, making both empires vulnerable in the Mesopotamian frontiers of the desert.
