[edit] Inconsistency

The disambig is Yazdegerd, while the other two Yazdegerd's are spelled with the middle 'e'. For some reason this convention isn't favored here. I suggest switching this with its redirect, Yazdegerd III. The Behnam 17:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] genetic haplogroup

A link suggests Yazdgerd belonged to mitochondrial DNA haplogroup J1a [1], if there's a better reference it could be added to the proper Yazdgerd article. Nagelfar 18:00, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the accuracy of death of Shahanshah Yazdegerd III...

attention to the author of this part of the article:

Arabs occupied Ctesiphon, and the young King fled into Media. Yazdgerd III then fled eastward from one district to another, until at last he was killed by a local miller for his purse at Merv in 651.

the reference to this particular line of the article is obsolete; link to the article is not available. but in the Sassanid Empire article can refer to this, with reference available.
look at the sassania chronology, then look for year 651. you will read:
651: Last Sassanid ruler Yazdegerd III was captured and beheaded by Arabian army invaders at Merv, present-day Turkmenistan, ending the dynasty. His son Pirooz and many others went into exile in China.
