Boran dokht [590 - 632 A.D]
Boran dokht was the first empress of the sassanid (persia) empire. She was the daughter of king khosrow II and byzantine princess Maria.
Although her two tenures of rule were shortlived, she did try to bring stability to persia by the implementation of just laws, reconstruction of the infrastructure, and by lowering taxes and minting coins. Diplomatically, she desired good relations with her western neighbours (the byzantinnes) , whom she had an embassy sent to, which was well received by emperor heraclius
A/n: idk why but it kinda reminds me of sibylla's ceremonial crown >_<...
