The House of Bagratuni
The Bagratid family was not only the most important Armenian princely house but ultimately the most important in the whole of Caucasia. Probably a branch of the Orontids originally holding Bagrewand as their share of the royal domains, the Bagratids at first claimed descent from their tutelary deity, the sun god Angl-Tork', until their conversion to Christianity. Thereafter, they claimed descent from Hayk, the mythical progenitor of the Armenian people, through whose supposed great-grandfather, Thorgoma, grandson of Noah, they, like many of the other princely houses in Armenia, attempted to link themselves to the genealogy of nations in Genesis 10. Later, encountering some tempting parallels between certain Bagratid and Jewish names in Josephus, the Bagratids claimed a Hebrew descent, and still later, after assuming the crowns of both Armenia and Iberia, a royal descent from King David himself. Bagradates, commanding general of Tigranes II (95-56 B.C.) and his viceroy in Syria, is the earliest known member of the house, which served as coronant of Armenia, possessing the exclusive right to crown the king and on ceremonial occasions to place the crown upon the king's brow. The importance of the house can be determined by the one thousand cavalrymen it could supply to the king in time of war.
Somewhere along the way, the Bagratids lost Bagrewand, and, at the time of the conversion, we find them reigning in the Sper in the far northwest of Armenia, sitting at the castle of Bayberd in the broad valley of the river Voh, inhabited, at least to a certain extent, by the Georgian Canians or Cans. The Georgian branch of the Bagratuni family may be traced back as far as the second century A.D., when we hear of them holding the duchy of Ojrxe. Later, the Armenian Bagratids acquired the principality of Kogovit in central Armenia centered at the castle of Daruink', and the lands of Mokk' and Tmorik' in the extreme south of Armenia, the first centered at the town of Moks and the latter centered at the fortress of T'man.
Under Arab rule, twelve Bagratids held the position of presiding prince of Armenia, three of whom also bore the Byzantine title of kouropalatos. Briefly set back by the failure of the Mamikonid-led revolt of the Armenian princes against the Arabs in 771-772, the Bagratids gained power steadily in Armenia as the house of Mamikonean, previously so prominent, subsequently declined. Acquiring the Mamikonid principalities of Tarawn and southern Tayk ', the house soon got control of Bzunik' and Bagrevand, and also of the great principalities of Arsarunik' and Sirak, which they purchased from the declining house of Kamsarakan. In or about 885, the Bagratids, under Asot V, revived the dormant monarchy of Armenia, and three years later Adarnase IV of the Georgian branch of the house revived that of Iberia as well. From the Armenian branch, centered at the great city of Ani, there subsequently emerged the princes of Tarawn, the kings of Kars, both annexed by the Byzantine empire, and those of Lori-Albania and Kaxet'I, both conquered by Georgia.
In 1008, the Bagratids succeeded in uniting the whole of Georgia for the first time in its history, upon which, together with the senior Armenian branch, they formed a condominium that ruled the whole of Caucasia for over two hundred years. During this time, a series of brilliant rulers, culminating in Queen T'amar the Great, brought Georgia to the height of its glory. Originally ruling from K'ut'aisi, the Bagratids moved to Tp'ilisi after seizing it from its Arab emirs in 1122. The Bagratids, whether in Armenia or Georgia, showed themselves to be great patrons of literature and the arts, producing or sponsoring distinguished historians, raising remarkable churches and other buildings, and founding monasteries that became famous centers of learning.
The Mongol invasions in the mid-thirteenth century brought this period of efflorescence to an untimely end. In the late fifteenth century, after suffering the invasions of Timur and the Turkoman chieftain Uzun Hasan, Bagratid Georgia broke into three kingdoms: K'art'li (Central Georgia), Kaxet'I (Eastern Georgia), and Imeret'I (West Georgia), each ruled by a different branch of the family K'art'li and Kaxet'i merged in 1762 only to be annexed by Russia in 1801; Imeret'I was annexed in 1810. The Bagratonis, as they were known in Georgia, however, still survive; the aunt of the present heir was married to Grand Duke Vladimir, the claimant to the Russian throne until his death in 1992. In 1991, the newly independent Georgian Republic briefly considered a restoration of the Bagratid monarchy. In Armenia the Bagratids of Lori may be traced as the princes of Norberd, east of Lake Sevan, near where, in the eighteenth century, the meliks of Barsum claimed descent from them. One sometimes encounters Armenians calling themselves Pakradooni but without proof of such descent.

თედო დონდუას სტატია North and South (Towards the Question of the Nato Enlargement)
http://www.nato.int/acad/fellow/99-01/f99-01.htmAfter the destruction of the Persian Empire, in the early years of the 3rd c. B.C. the Northern and
Southern kingdoms of Kartli were united under Pharnavaz from Mtskheta (Northern kingdom), the
first king of the Pharnavazid dynasty. Azo, the Southern sovereign, seems to be killed in skirmish.
Pharnavaz gratefully adopted his sons and kept them within the native domains as dukes (Eristavi).
After many centuries those domains will provide Georgia with new royal dynasty, the Bagratids
(Bagrationi)...
“Now this is Hayk who begat Aramaneak, his son in Babylon. And Aramaneak begat many
sons and daughters, of whom the eldest was Aramayis. And Aramayis begat many sons and daughters,
of whom the eldest was Amasya… Now these are the names of the earliest men who founded
the race in Babylon and who went across the northern regions of the land of Ararad. For Hayk set
out from Babylon with his wife and sons and all his retinue…
And there ruled over them Zareh, a son of [one of] Aramaneak’s sons, a powerful man and
skillful with the bow; then Armong; then Sarhang; then Shavash; then Parnavas.
This last begat Bagam and Bagarat, and Bagarat begat Biurat, and Biurat begat Aspat. And the
sons of Bagarat succeeded to their inheritance in the regions of the west…
At that time Arshak (king of the Parthians) made his son, called Arshak the Less, king over the
land of Armenia and the city of Mtsurn. And he assigned to him as borders Aruastan by the land of
the Tachiks, and the land of Syria and Cappadocia by Cilicia as far as the shore of the great western
sea, and on the northern side to the great Caucasus Mountain…
26
He sent him from Mtsurn to the west with greatest army… Bagarat P‘arazean, one of the descendants
of Aramaneak and great noble, went out to meet him with a large army. He offered him
gifts of gold and silver, adorned him with the tunic and stole, crowned him with the hereditary
crown, sat him on the throne of gold inlaid with precious stones, and gave him his daughter in
marriage.
King Arshak made him [Bagarat] aspet of the land of Armenia, that’s, prince and chief commander
of the entire kingdom, and father and brother of the king, and to him he gave the authority
of that power.”1
This is amalgam from Primary History. Using other more detailed accounts, it can be formulated
like this: in the early years of the 3rd c. B.C. Northern and Southern kingdoms of Kartli (Iberia)
were united under Pharnavaz from Mtskheta (Northern kingdom), the first king of the Pharnavazid
dynasty. Azo, the southern sovereign, seems to be killed in skirmish. Pharnavaz, now victorious,
gratefully adopted his sons and kept them within the native domains as the dukes (residing somewhere
in Klarjeti /now in Turkey/ and possessing some more appanages in Speri /Ispir district/).
Bagrat (Bagadat) Pharnavaziani, Bivrat (Biurat), Sumbat (Smbat) – these are the names of the first
men from Bagrationi ruling clan. Sumbat revolted against Mtskheta overlordship, supported by
Artaxias; and thus Vitaxate of Gogarene had emerged.
