Jamasp (son of Kavad I)
Jamasp (also spelled Zamasp) was a 6th-century Sasanian prince, who was the second oldest son of the incumbent king (shah) Kavad I ({{reign|488|496|498|531}}). Jamasp was greatly admired for his ability in war, but was disqualified from succession due to having lost an eye.{{harvnb|Martindale|Morris|1980|p=1995}}; {{harvnb|Crone|1991|p=31}} The following year after the accession of his brother Khosrow I ({{reign|531|579}}), Bawi along with other members of the Iranian aristocracy, became involved in a conspiracy in which they tried to overthrow Khosrow and make Jamasp's son Kavad the new shah, so Jamasp could rule as regent.{{harvnb|Martindale|Morris|1980|p=1995}}; {{harvnb|Pourshariati|2008|p=111}} The conspiracy, however, was revealed and Jamasp was murdered.{{sfn|Martindale|Morris|1980|p=1995}}
