The '''House of Hazaraspid''', more formally the '''House of Hazarasp''', was the ruling dynasty of the Hazarasp Kingdom, later known as the [[Iotopha#History|Shahdom of Iotopha]], from 1405 until their overthrow in 1924 during the [[Iotophan revolution]].
The '''House of Hazarasp''', more formally the '''Hazaraspid dynasty''', was the ruling dynasty of [[Vardana]] and the Hazaraspid kingdom from 1323 until 1924 during the [[Vardanan Revolution]].


The [[Iotopha#History|Shahdom of Iotopha]] was unified in the early 15th century by [[Mêrxas I of Iotopha|Mêrxas I]], who named the dynasty Hazaraspid after his father Ardashir Hazarasp. The dynasty's name is of {{wp|Persian|Teispid}} origin, meaning <nowiki>"thousand horses"</nowiki>. The dynasty originated from the island of X, located on the west coast of what is now Iotopha, uniting petty Kardish kingdoms against the retreating [[Bayarid Empire]]. The dynasty was overthrown in the 1924 revolution, where nearly all dynasts were killed.  
The Hazaraspid dynasty arrived in what in [[Vardana]] in the 12th century, believed to originate from Chuya province, near the Chu River Valley in [[Uluujol]]. Hazarasp was the first member of the dynasty to reign as Armashahs (Արմասահս; lit. "Ruler of Armava" or Shah of Armavia) in the 14th century. The dynasty claims descent from a number of religiously significant or legendary figures, including [person] the legendary founder of ancient Aramvia, the final rulers of the Bayarid Empire and descendant of Ummār bint Mubashir, the son of the Prophet [[Mubashir]].


The head of the House of Hazaraspid is in dispute, though [[Mêrxas, Shahzadeh of Iotopha]] is widely considered the chief pretender to the abolished Iotophan throne by a majority of exiled Iotophans nobles, and royal historians. Prince Payedar Hazaraspid-Xozan is also a pretender, as the heir to the line of Khusraw V, last Shah of Iotopha.
The Hazaraspid dynasty and their kingdom was overthrown in 1924 during the Vardani Revolution, which resulted in the deaths of many dynasts. [[Jorin Hazarasp (born 1962)|Kaysr Jorin Hazarasp]] is the current pretender to the abolished throne.
==Line of succession to the Mêrxas claim==
==Line of succession to the Tiridantid claim==
Under Hazarasp dynastic succession, the Shah must adhere to the {{wp|Zoroastrianism|Mazdayasna}} faith to be eligible. Females may inherit the throne, though since the 16th century have been deemed ineligible if engaged in the Xwedodah tradition, which according to dynastic law is any marriage between the Shah (or Shahzadeh) and a female dynast that was cousin or closer relative.
Under Hazarasp dynastic succession, the sultan must follow the [[Azdarin]] faith in order to hold succession rights. Until 1577, succession was primarily based upon the principle of survival of the fittest among sons of the king. In the reign of Tiridates I, succession practices were formalized to a modified male-only primogeniture, which later became male-only primogeniture whereby succession followed from father to eldest son, and so on until the reign of Tiridates V and the abolition of the monarchy in 1924. As a result of the male-only succession, females are barred from succession.


Jorin, Shahzadeh of Iotopha, was the grandson of Shah Mêrxas VII through the Shah's second eldest son, Prince Jorin Hazaraspid. In his lifetime, Jorin was recognized as Shahzadeh (crown prince) and heir to the abolished throne ahead of the line of Khusraw V due the Xwedodah marriage between [[Delal, Shahdokht of Iotopha|Princess Delal Hazaraspid]] and Ardashir, Shahzadeh of Iotopha, the former whose line is referred to as Hazaraspid-Xozan.
Jorin, Despot of Bayazet, was the second oldest, and only surviving, son of Sultan Tirdantes V. In his lifetime, Jorin was recognized as Kaysr and heir to the abolished throne. Today, [[Jorin Hazarasp (born 1962)|Kaysr Jorin Hazarasp]] is the leader of the [[Government in exile of the Kingdom of Vardana#Organization|Crown Council of Vardana]].
 
The Legitimist line descends from Jorin, Shahzadeh of Iotopha, the grandson of [[Mêrxas VII of Iotopha|Shah Mêrxas VII]] through his second son Prince Jorin Hazaraspid. [[Mêrxas, Shahzadeh of Iotopha]] is the president of the [[Government in exile of the Shahdom of Iotopha#Organization|Crown Council of Iotopha]].

==Line of succession to the Khusraw claim==
Khusraw V was the last Shah of Iotopha, overthrown in the [[Iotophan Revolution|1924 revolution]], leaving no legitimate male heirs of his own. One child survived, [[Delal, Shahdokht of Iotopha]], who was married to Ardashir, Shahzadeh of Iotopha as his primary Xwedodah wife in 1920. Due her Xwedodah marriage, Legitimists supporting the Mêrxas claim assert that she and any children lost all succession rights according to dynastic law. However, Delal asserted her claim to the newly abolished throne after escaping to COUNTRY during the revolution. She had no children by Ardashir, Shahzadeh of Iotopha, but remarried during her exile to Payedar Xozan – a member of the royal guard.


By historians, Delal's line is referred to as Hazaraspid-Xozan. The current head of this cadet house is Prince Yazdegerd Hazaraspid-Xozan. His heir apparent is Prince Khusraw Hazaraspid-Xozan.

Deposition1924: Vardanan Revolution

The House of Hazarasp, more formally the Hazaraspid dynasty, was the ruling dynasty of Vardana and the Hazaraspid kingdom from 1323 until 1924 during the Vardanan Revolution.

The Hazaraspid dynasty arrived in what in Vardana in the 12th century, believed to originate from Chuya province, near the Chu River Valley in Uluujol. Hazarasp was the first member of the dynasty to reign as Armashahs (Արմասահս; lit. "Ruler of Armava" or Shah of Armavia) in the 14th century. The dynasty claims descent from a number of religiously significant or legendary figures, including [person] the legendary founder of ancient Aramvia, the final rulers of the Bayarid Empire and descendant of Ummār bint Mubashir, the son of the Prophet Mubashir.

The Hazaraspid dynasty and their kingdom was overthrown in 1924 during the Vardani Revolution, which resulted in the deaths of many dynasts. Kaysr Jorin Hazarasp is the current pretender to the abolished throne.

Line of succession to the Tiridantid claim

Under Hazarasp dynastic succession, the sultan must follow the Azdarin faith in order to hold succession rights. Until 1577, succession was primarily based upon the principle of survival of the fittest among sons of the king. In the reign of Tiridates I, succession practices were formalized to a modified male-only primogeniture, which later became male-only primogeniture whereby succession followed from father to eldest son, and so on until the reign of Tiridates V and the abolition of the monarchy in 1924. As a result of the male-only succession, females are barred from succession.

Jorin, Despot of Bayazet, was the second oldest, and only surviving, son of Sultan Tirdantes V. In his lifetime, Jorin was recognized as Kaysr and heir to the abolished throne. Today, Kaysr Jorin Hazarasp is the leader of the Crown Council of Vardana.

Head of the House of Hazarasp

Since the abolition of the monarchy in Vardana, the Hazaraspid dynasty has maintained a royal government in exile, headquartered in Ghish. The government in exile was established by Kaysr Jorin Hazarasp, following the execution of his older brother Tiridantes, and proclaimed himself heir to the throne. Despot Jorin was succeeded by his eldest son, Aram, Despot of Bayazet, as head of the House of Hazarasp in 1966. If Aram were to have succeeded to the throne, he would be one of the longest reigning monarch of Vardana at 54 years, as of January 2021, second only to Tirdantes I Hazarasp, who reigned for 60 years. Upon Aram's death in 2021, his son Jorin succeeded to the Head of the House; his heir apparent is his eldest son Ardil Hazarasp.
