The Sassanids (Empire Divided) Tier 1

Royal Harems

The royal harem during the reign of the Sassanid dynasty was based on the institution established during Achaemenid days. In both cases, the Shahanshah was allowed by law to marry any number of wives. Among them, one was given the title of 'chief wife' – she was the mother of the heir to the throne. All other harem members were organised according to a system of five ranks and bore titles ranging from 'Royal Princess' to 'Queen of Queens'. It is notable that the chief wife was not always the 'Queen of Queens'. The harem was supervised and maintained by eunuchs, who often held great military or civic authority.
