Khosrow II, also known as Khosrow Parviz, was the last great Sasanian king of Iran, ruling from 590 to 628. He engaged in wars with the Byzantine Empire, capturing significant territories and earning the epithet "the Victorious." Despite initial successes, his reign faced challenges from usurpers and internal strife.

He is celebrated in Persian literature as a heroic figure and a lover, particularly in tales like Khosrow and Shirin.
