Khosrov II

According to some reconstructions of third-century Armenian history, Khosrov II was an Armenian king from the Arsacid dynasty in the second half of the third century. Nothing concrete is known about his reign, which has been reconstructed by historians using limited evidence.

According to these reconstructions, Khosrov was the son of King Tiridates II, who fled to the Roman Empire after a Sasanian invasion of his kingdom in 252. Hormizd-Ardashir, son of the Sasanian king Shapur I, became King of Armenia, while Tiridates' sons are said to have gone over to the Sasanian side. According to Cyril Toumanoff's reconstruction, Khosrov became king of a western, Roman-controlled portion of Armenia in 279/80, while the rest of Armenia remained under Sasanian domination. According to Hakob Manandyan's version, Khosrov became King of Armenia in 272/73, after the death of Shapur I in 270. He is thought to have been assassinated in 287. Toumanoff believed he was killed and replaced by a brother named Tiridates. Khosrov's young son Tiridates was taken to the Roman Empire and was later placed on the Armenian throne by the Romans after the Peace of Nisibis in 298.

Other scholars maintain a different chronology with no place for Khosrov II, asserting that the reign of Tiridates II (usually identified as the "Khosrov the Great" of Armenian sources) was followed by Sasanian occupation of the country, which ended in the 290s with the return of Tiridates' son Tiridates III to the Armenian throne.
