History of Armenia Artsruni lang hy wikt also transliterated as Ardzruni was an ancient Armenia n Armenian nobility noble family that claimed descent from Sennacherib , King of Assyria 705 BC&ndash 681 BC . Although it mirrors the Bagratuni claim of David Davidic descent and the Mamikonian claim of descent from the royal Han Dynasty , it is usually interpreted as a piece of genealogical mythology. The origin of this claim is attributed to Moses of Chorene according to whom Sennacherib s sons fled to Armenia after murdering him and founded the clans of the Artsruni and Gnuni . Chorene in turn was in all likelihood inspired by Biblical tradition File 73artzrounis.gif thumb 300px left The Expansion of the House of Artsruni cquote And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adramelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword and they escaped into the land of Armenia, and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

Rshtunis support the Sassanid Persia ns for the most part against the Byzantine Empire Byzantines . The best known member and the leading figure of the family in the early 7th century is Theodoros Rshtuni , marzban then prince of Armenia from 638 to 655, who had the difficult task of ensuring Armenia s survival between Byzantine and Arab ambitions. Following the destruction of the Sassanid empire, the Muslim incursions into Armenia in 642 began. He is eventually exiled by the Caliph to Damascus.
