Mamikonian
Mamikonian or Mamikonean ( Classical hy, Մամիկոնեան; reformed orthography: Մամիկոնյան; Western Armenian pronunciation: ''Mamigonian'') was an aristocratic dynasty which dominated Armenian politics between the 4th and 8th century. They were the most notable noble house in Early Christian Armenia after the ruling Arsacid dynasty and held the hereditary positions of '' sparapet'' (supreme commander of the army) and ''dayeak'' (royal tutor), allowing them to play the role of kingmaker for the later Armenian kings. They ruled over extensive territories, including the Armenian regions of Tayk, Taron, Sasun, and Bagrevand, among others. The Mamikonians had a reputation as supporters of the Roman (later Byzantine) Empire in Armenia against Sasanian Iran, although they also served as viceroys under Persian rule. Their influence over Armenian affairs began to decline at the end of the 6th century and suffered a final, decisive blow after a failed rebellion against ...

Mushegh I Mamikonian
Mushegh I Mamikonian (also spelled Mushel; d. 377/8) was an Armenian military officer from the Mamikonian family, who occupied the hereditary office of '' sparapet'' (generalissimo) of the Kingdom of Armenia under the Arsacid kings Pap () and Varazdat (). He took part in the Armenian resistance against the forces of the Sasanian monarch Shapur II (), notably taking part in the Battle of Bagavan, where the Iranian forces were defeated. He was the regent of Armenia under the young and inexperienced Varazdat, who eventually suspected him of posing a danger to his rule, and thus had him executed, in 377/8. Mushegh may be identical with the Artabanes mentioned in the works of the contemporary Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus. Background Mushegh was a son of the Armenian '' sparapet'' (generalissimo) Vasak I Mamikonian. The Mamikonian family controlled the northwestern Tayk province near the Iberian border. They also hereditarily held the office of ''sparapet'', which was the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mushegh II Mamikonian
Mushegh II Mamikonian (Armenian: Մուշեղ Բ Մամիկոնյան) was an Armenian nobleman from the Mamikonian family. During his later life he was nominated as Marzban of Persian Armenia, ruling briefly in 591. Biography In 590, the Sasanian spahbed Bahram Chobin rebelled against the Sasanian king Hormizd IV. He was, however, deposed and killed by the Sasanian nobles before Bahram could confront him. One of the leaders behind the plot against Hormizd was Vistahm and Vinduyih, who made the king's son, Khosrau II, the new king of the Sasanian Empire. However, shortly after the coronation of the new king, Bahram Chobin marched to Ctesiphon and proclaimed himself king under the name of Bahram VI. Khosrau along with Vistahm, and Vinduyih fled to Byzantine territory, where promised emperor Maurice I to cede territory in exchange for military aid. One later year, Khosrau, along with Mushegh II and other nobles, marched towards Ctesiphon, and defeated Bahram, who then fled to A ...

Mushegh III Mamikonian
Mushegh III Mamikonian (Armenian: Մուշեղ Գ Մամիկոնյան) was an Armenian ''sparapet'' that fought against the Arabs during the Muslim conquest of Persia. He was killed during the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah in 636. Family The family of Mushegh III Mamikonian is disputed. The Armenian historian Sebeos calls him a son of Davith Mamikonian. According to Christian Settipani, Davith was probably the son of Hamazasp, who was the son of Mushegh II Mamikonian.. However, Cyril Toumanoff considers Davith as the son of Vahan II. Historians, however, agree that Mushegh was the elder brother of Hamazasp IV and Grigor I Mamikonian, who were both princes of Armenia. Death In 636, Mushegh III, at the head of an army of 3000 men, and Novirak Grigor II, prince of Siunia, at the head of 1000 men, were the Armenian contingent who joined the army Rostam Farrokhzad, the ''spahbed'' of the Sasanian forces, who was preparing to fight the Muslim Arabs who were camping at Qādisiyyah.
