The Bagratuni or Bagratid dynasty (Armenian: Բագրատունի, Armenian pronunciation: [bagɾatuni]) was an Armenian royal dynasty which ruled the medieval Kingdom of Armenia from c. 885 until 1045. Originating as vassals of the Kingdom of Armenia of antiquity, they rose to become the most prominent Armenian noble family during the period of Arab rule in Armenia, eventually establishing their own independent kingdom.[3] Their domain included regions of Armenia such as Shirak, Bagrevand,[4] Kogovit,[5] Syunik, Lori, Vaspurakan, Vanand and Taron.[6] Many historians, such as Cyril Toumanoff, Nicholas Adontz and Ronald Suny, consider them to be the progenitors of the Georgian royal Bagrationi dynasty.[7][8][9]
Bagrevand ... in the 9th-11th centuries was under the rule of the Bagratouni Kingdom of Armenia.
During the reign of the Arshakuni dynasty, the province of Kogovit belonged to the court, but after Arshakuni kingdom's decline it passed to the Bagratuni princes.
