Bagratuni Family


Bagratuni/Bagrationi family


Ashot "the Blind", constable of Armenia, +761, had issue: NOTE: Contemporary Armenian sources permit to reconstruct a famous "descent from antiquity" to the Bagratids through the Mamikonid dynasty: Samuel II Mamikonid -> ... -> Hmayeak I Mamikonid -> Sahakanoysh of Armenia (m. Hamazasp I Mamikonid) -> St.Sahak I the Great -> St.Nerses the Great -> Bambish of Armenia (m. Athanagenis) -> Chosroes III of Armenia -> Tiridates IV of Armenia -> Chosroes II of Armenia -> Tiridates II of Armenia -> Chosroes I of Armenia -> Vologases V of Parthia -> ... -> King Arshak (ca 200 BC).

One may find a scholarly discussion of further lines leading from the Arsacides to Seleucids and hence to Achaemenids in the book of Charles Settipani, "Nos ancetres de l'Antiquite" (1991).
