Talk:Yazdegerd I

Persecution of Zoroastrians
I think this is dubious since he was a Zoroastrian. Persecuting or acting tyrannical towards people who happen to be Zoroastrian is not persecution of Zoroastrians, since that has to be because they are Zoroastrian. He is known in the Shahnameh as "Yazdegerd the Unjust," so I will cover his tyrannical ways in the near future. The Behnam 03:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I'll look into the "Christian" part which I don't remember for some reason. I may be entirely mistaken.  The Behnam 03:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * No I don't think I am. I believe this clears it up .  The Behnam 03:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't think he is known as Yazdegerd the Unjust enough for that page to be redirected to here --Rayis 10:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have a copy of Shahnameh by Dick Davis. I don't know if you've read it, but "Yazdegerd the Unjust" is the same king as Yazdegerd I.  I made the redirect because someone reading Shahnameh may be interested in that king and type him in, but find nothing.  The redirect should solve this.  Sorry for the confusion, and please remove the 'prod' from that redirect.  Thanks.  The Behnam 12:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Persecution of Christians
I think it might be helpful if somebody familiar with both the Zoroastrian and Christian sources were to contribute a paragraph on Yazdgird's fluctuating policies towards the Christians. He started off as a reasonably tolerable ruler, and ended up being downright vicious. As it stands, this article makes it seem as though the Christians had only themselves to blame for being persecuted. I don't doubt that they tried to stretch the limits of Zoroastrian tolerance as far as they could, but the Zoroastrians were hardly innocent victims of Christian bullying.
