Battle of Thi Qar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Battle of Thi Qar was a fought on 611 (some say 604) between Arab tribes and Persians.
According to the Arab historian Abu Obayda (d. 824), Khusraw Parviz was angry with King Numan III for refusing to give him his daughter in marriage, and therefore imprisoned him. Subsequently, Khusraw sent troops to recover the Numan family armor, but Hany bin Masud (Numan's friend) refused, and the Persian forces were defeated at the battle of Dhi Qar, near Al-Hirah, the Lakhmid dynasty's capital.
