The defeat of the rebels at the Battle of Bagrevand in April 775 was followed by ruthless suppression of opposition in the years that followed.

Those that survived were either exiles in the Byzantine Empire or dependants of other houses, chiefly the Artsruni and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
