Hormizd IV
Hormizd IV is called a "Torkzad" in the Shahnameh, meaning "son of Turk", according to some sources his mother was the daughter of the Turkish khagan, this, however, has been rejected by Encyclopædia Iranica, which states that the marriage with the daughter of the Turkish khagan is impossible, and says that Hormizd was born in 540, thirty years before Khosrow's marriage.
