Húsheng

Family: Irán · Role: son of Saiámuk; leader of the army · First appears: Kaiúmers

During the reign of Kaiúmers, Húsheng was the son of Saiámuk, and Kaiúmers loved him even more than his father and showed him unbounded affection. Kaiúmers appointed him leader of the army, and Húsheng set out with a great force and slew the Demon and his offspring with his own hand. After Kaiúmers died, Húsheng ascended the throne of Persia.

One day, a stone Húsheng hurled struck a rock; sparks sprang from it and fire spread across the plain. He held a royal entertainment that evening and named it the Festival of Siddeh. His government lasted forty years, and he was succeeded by his son, Tahúmers. Later, in the Story of the Capture of the Brazen Fortress, Narímán is said to have been descended from Húsheng.
