After he had executed his father, he only ruled six months before he himself died
In 627 Heraclius swept down into Mesopotamia and defeated a Persian army near Nineveh. Khusrau fled, a revolt ensued, and Khusrau was murdered and succeeded by his son Shiroe, who ruled as Kavad II. Kavad II made peace with Heraclius, agreeing to evacuate Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Asia Minor, and western Mesopotamia and to restore prisoners and the true cross. Kavad died of the plague. The general Shahrbaraz (Sarbaros) usurped the throne and killed the infant son of Kavad, Ardashir III (628\endash 629), but was himself murdered (629). Khusrau's daughter Borandukht (630\endash 631) ruled for a year. On her death there was anarchy that seriously undermined the central authority of the monarchy (631\endash 632).
