A particularly significant accomplishment of his reign was the establishment of Zoroastrianism as the official religion of Persia.
Kavadh I favored the communistic teachings of Mazdak (flourished 5th century), a Zoroastrian high priest, and in 498 was deposed by his orthodox brother Zamasp.
With the aid of the Ephthalites, Kavadh was restored to the throne in 501.
