Mahuy Suri was the Sassanid governor of Merv in Khorasan during the reign of Yezdegerd III. After the Arab invasion he killed Yazdegerd III, who fled to Merv from the Arabic invasion. According to the Shahnameh, the satrap of Khorasan, Mahuy Suri, treacherously had one of his millers to kill Yazdgerd III, the last Persian king, after his defeat in Iraq.
“
Mahui sends the miller to cut off his head on pain of losing his own, and having none of his race left alive. His chiefs hear this and cry out against him, and a Mobed of the name of Radui tells him that to kill a king or prophet will bring evil upon him and his son, and is supported in what he says by a holy m,an of the name of Hormuzd Kharad Shehran, and Mehronush.
The miller most unwillingly goes in and stabs him with a dagger in the middle. Mahui s horsmen all go and see him and take off his clothing and ornaments, leaving him on the ground . All the nobles curse Mahui and wish him the same fate.[1]
