Changes

The '''Lakhmids''' were a Southern Arabian tribe of [[Christians]] who emigrated in the 3rd Century AD to Southern [[Iraq]] founding the ancient city of Al-Hira, which was centered 3 km from modern day Kufa. The Lakhmids were mercilessly conquered by the [[Sassanid Empire]] in 330, hereafter retained as [[feudal]] proxies in a manner similar to the [[Ghassanids]] on the [[Roman]] frontier. Lakhmid Christianity differed from the Ghassanid form in that the Lakhmids had accepted the [[Nestorian]] argument in Christology, the dual nature of Christ. The [[Zoroastrian]] [[Persians]] allowed the Lakhmids freedom to practice Christianity, however in [[political]] matters they were much less free than their Ghassanid counterparts. After their defeat at the Battle of Hira in 633, at the hands of the [[Arab]] armies of Abu Bakr, they became subsumed into the [[Umma]].
