Vache II was the king of
Caucasian Albania from 444 to 463. He was a nephew of
Yazdegerd II. In the middle of the 5th century by the order of the Persian king
Peroz I, Vache built in
Utik the city initially called Perozabad, and later Partaw and
Barda, and made it the capital of Albania. He was forced to convert to
Zoroastrianism by
Peroz I. As a reaction he started his rebellion against
Sassanids. He allied himself to Maskuts and expelled his sister and mother because of their faith in
Zoroaster. He abdicated his throne in 463. After him Albania remained as
satrapy without king for 30 years until
Vachagan III.
