• Notes:

  === Life Sketch ===
  Hormizd II (also spelled Hormozd or Ohrmazd; Middle Persian: 𐭠𐭥𐭧𐭥𐭬𐭦𐭣) was king (shah) of the Sasanian Empire. He ruled for seven years and five months, from 303 to 309. He was a son and successor of Narseh (r. 293–303).
  During his reign, the Kingdom of Armenia had recently declared Christianity as its official religion, thus leaving its ancient Zoroastrian heritage that it shared with Sasanian Iran. Hormizd II's reign was also marked by internal turmoil, which he successfully managed to deal with. Hormizd II was also successful in his efforts in the west, defeating and killing the Ghassanid king in Syria. His reign was, however, cut short by the intrigues of the Iranian nobility, who killed him in a secluded place.
  He was succeeded by his son Adur Narseh, who after a few months of reigning was also killed by the nobility. They instead installed Hormizd II's infant son Shapur II on the throne.
  
  Hormizd II was one of the Sasanian kings with most children, which he had from his Jewish wife Ifra-Hormizd, and several other wives and concubines:
  . Prince Adur Narseh (3rd century – 309), the ninth king of the Sasanian Empire.
  . Prince Shapur II (309 – 379), the tenth king of the Sasanian Empire.
  . Prince Adurfrazgird (??? – 4th century), governor of southern Arbayistan.
  . Prince Zamasp (??? – 4th century), governor of northern Arbayistan.
  . Prince Shapur Sakanshah (??? – 4th century), governor of Sakastan.
  . Prince Hormizd (??? – 4th century), imprisoned by the Iranian nobility and later defected to the Roman Empire.
  . Prince Ardashir II (309 – 383), the eleventh king of the Sasanian Empire.
  . Prince Narseh (??? – 4th century), briefly occupied the Armenian throne in the mid-330s.
  . Princess Hormizddukht (??? – 4th century), married the Mamikonian prince Vahan.
