Barzabod

Barzabod, was the Mihranid prince of Gardman from c. 430 to 440. He was the son and successor of Khurs.

According to the Georgian chronicler Juansher, Barzabod married off her daughter Sagdukht to his Iberian neighbor, Mihrdat V, then heir apparent to King Archil of Iberia, and eventually king in his own right. The marriage helped to seal peace between the once hostile neighbors. After Mihrdat's death c. 535, Sagdukht relied on her father for support during her regency for her underage son, Vakhtang I of Iberia.

Barzabod died around 440, and was succeeded by his son Varaz-Bakur.
