=== Revolt in Caucasian Albania and famine ===
During the dynastic struggle between Peroz and Hormizd III, the [[Arsacid dynasty of Caucasian Albania|Arsacid]] king of [[Caucasian Albania]], [[Vache II of Albania|Vache II]] ({{reign|440|462}}), took advantage of the tumultuous situation and declared independence.{{sfn|Schippmann|1999|pp=631–632}} He allowed the [[Huns]] into the city of [[Derbent]], and with their aid attacked the Iranian army. Peroz responded by allowing the Huns to pass through the [[Darial Gorge]], and they subsequently ravaged Albania.{{sfn|Chaumont|1985|pp=806–810}} The two kings negotiated an accord; Vache II would return his mother (Peroz's sister) and daughter to Peroz, while he would receive the 1,000 families he had originally been given by his father as his share of the inheritance. Vache II abdicated in 462,{{sfn|Gadjiev|2020|p=33}} leaving Albania kingless until 485, when [[Vachagan III]] ({{reign|485|510}}) was installed on the throne by Peroz's brother and successor [[Balash]] ({{reign|484|488}}).{{sfn|Chaumont|1985|pp=806–810}} Peroz also freed some of the [[Armenians|Armenian]] aristocrats who had been jailed by his father in the aftermath of the Armenian uprising in 451.{{sfn|Frye|1983|p=147}} The previous year (461), Iran suffered from a severe drought, which caused a large-scale famine that would last until 467.{{sfn|Frye|1983|p=147}}{{sfn|Curtis|1999|p=305}}{{sfn|Bosworth|1999|p=112}}
