The Mihranids were an Iranian family which ruled several regions of Caucasus from 330 to 821. They claimed to be of Sasanian Persian descent but were of Parthian origin.〔(Encyclopedia Iranica. C. E. Bosworth. Arran )〕〔(Encyclopedia Iranica. M. L. Chaumont. Albania. )〕 == History == The dynasty was founded when certain Mihran, a distant relative of Sasanian, settled in the region of Gardman in Utik. He was probably a member of a branch of the Mihranid family which was listed among the Seven Great Houses of Iran, and whose two other lines ruled Iberia (Chosroid Dynasty) and Gogarene/Gugark.〔Toumanoff, Cyril. ''Chronology of the Early Kings of Iberia''. ''Traditio'' 25 (1969), p. 22.〕 Mihran's family came to power, when Mihran's great-grandson killed almost all the members of the previous ruling dynasty – "the Eṙanšahiks, the ancient native Armenian (''haykazean'' (emphasis )) family....Sparing only Zarmihr Eṙanšahik."〔Movses Kaghankatvatsi. ''The History of the Caucasian Albanians by Movses Dasxuranci''. Translated by Charles Dowsett. London: Oxford University Press, 1961, Book II, chapter XVII, pp. 108-109.〕 The most prominent representatives of the family in the 7th century were Varaz Grigor, his son Javanshir, and Varaz-Tiridates I. Mihranids assumed a Persian title of Arranshahs (i.e. shahs of Arran, Persian name of Albania). The family's rule came to an end after the assassination of Varaz-Tiridates II by Nerseh Pilippean in 822-23.〔 Subsequently Sahl Smbatean, a descendant of the aforementioned Arranshahik (Eṙanšahik) family,〔 Movses Kaghankatvatsi.

Book III, chapter XXIII. (Brief repetition of the Pedigrees ).〕 assumed the title of Arranshah 〔Minorsky, Vladimir. ''Caucasica IV''.

(1953), pp. 504-529.〕 and ruled significant part of Caucasian Albania. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mihranids」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
