  “Gushtasb” the Kiani's king announces that his condition for giving power to his son “Esfandiar” is arresting of “Rostam”. Rustam kills Esfandiar in a battle. Before dying, Esfandiiar ask Rustam to teach his son, Bahman, the royal and martial arts. Later, Bahman returns to his grandfather and at this time, Gushtasb calls “Jamasb” and tells him that he intends to step down from his monarchy and then died. The purpose of the present study is to investigate how power is transferred from "Gushtasb" to "Bahman". This article examines the events that took place after Esfandiar's death which were recorded in various sources. The events is show that "Gushtasb" was ousted in a public uprising by the royal family and under Bahman's supervisor. For the Sassanid kings who extended their ancestry to the Kiani's Bahman and their government widely supported Zoroastrianism, as well as their religious leaders, it was not pleasant that the others read the story of a coup against Gushtasb. Therefore, they have deliberately sought to demonstrate that it was a peaceful power transition. Manuscript profile
