     Mirian III, King of K'art'li was married by his father, Ardashir, at age 7 (but possibly 5) to the daughter of the last Georgian king and installed as King of Georgia.⁴ He was son of Kas're, (and to be chronologically possible, grandson of ... -rbs) the Sassanid Ardashir.² Generally the interests of Georgian, Armenian and Persian monarchs were united in the defence of the Derbend Gate from the penetration of the northerners. The Life of the Kings mentions, that king Mirian who afterwards became the first Christian king of Georgia, was the most devoted follower of this policy: "He began to wage war on the Xazars, and fought continuously. Sometimes the Leks defected from Mirian; and whenever they brought down the Xazars to help them, Mirian would encounter them in Heret'i or Movakan, and there they fought a battle. On other occasions the Durjuks and Didos joined forces and brought down the Xazars.Then they fought battles, and never did the Xazars win. Mirian was always victorious. Such was the frequent result of battle with the Xazars. He made most of his expeditions to Daruband. For the Xazars would come and besiege Daruband in order to capture it and open the broad pass, from where they began to invade Persia. But when the Xazars came to Daruband, then Mirian would march to aid Daruband. Sometimes without fighting the Xazars withdrew before Mirian, and sometimes he routed them in battle" (I, 66).[112] The essence of king Mirian's struggle is peculiarly clear expressed in the words ascribed to him by the same chronicle: "...all my days I have been occupied in fighting the Xazars, often with my own blood have I saved Persia from the Xazars..."⁵ Called Mihran in Persian, but in Georgian Mirian.⁶ The chronicle "The Life of the Kings" preserved the attitude of Georgian aristocracy with regard to the forced invitation of the Persian king's son in his position of a king of Iberia (the future king Mirian) and of the husband of princess Abeshura - the sole representative of the Georgian royal family: "...we shall ask him [the Persian king - G.K.] to preserve the religion of our fathers, and request no mixing of Persians with us, and that our treatment be as nobility..." otherwise "...death is better for us than the sight of such a state of affairs. We would occupy our castles and cities, and perish all together."⁷ He was first Christian king of Iberia. He was first of the Khosroian Dynasty.⁸ He was the successor of Asp'agur I, King of K'art'li; 23rd King of Kartli.⁹ Mirian III, King of K'art'li was born circa 277.⁴ He was the son of Ardašir I, Shahanshan of Iran and N.
