Born Sheroe, he was the son of Khosrow II (r. 590–628) and Maria. With help from different factions of the nobility, Sheroe overthrew his father in a coup d'état in 628. After ascending the throne, he had his father and majority of brothers executed, and also made peace with the Byzantine emperor Heraclius (r. 610–641), thus concluding the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628.
Kavad II soon died to a devastating plague, which became known as the Plague of Sheroe. He was succeeded by his seven year old son Ardashir III (r. 628–630).
