Arsacid dynasty of Armenia
The
Arsacid dynasty
known natively as the
Arshakuni dynasty
(
Aršakuni
) ruled the
Kingdom of Armenia
from 54 to 428. They are a branch of the
Arsacid dynasty of Parthia
. Arsacid Kings reigned intermittently throughout the chaotic years following the fall of the
Artaxiad Dynasty
until 62 when
Tiridates I
secured
Arsacid dynasty of Parthia
rule in Armenia. An independent line of Kings was established by
Vologases II (Vagharsh II)
in 180. Two of the most notable events under Arsacid rule in Armenian history were the conversion of Armenia to Christianity by
Gregory the Illuminator
in 301 and the creation of the
Armenian alphabet
by
Saint Mesrob
in c. 406.
