Razhden the Protomartyr was a 5th-century Persian nobleman who served King Vakhtang I of Iberia. Originally a guardian for a Persian princess, he accompanied her to Georgia for her marriage to the king. After converting to Christianity, he became a soldier in the Georgian service. During the Sassanid wars, he was captured by Persian forces and executed in Tsromi for refusing to renounce his new faith.
