Arshavir II Kamsarakan
Arshavir II Kamsarakan (Armenian: Արշավիր Կամսարական) was an Armenian prince from the Kamsarakan family. He was the son of Gazavon II, who immigrated to Sasanian-controlled Armenia following the Roman annexation of the western part of historic Armenia.[1] Arshavir II is notable for having taken part in the anti-Sasanian revolt of 451, led by his father-in-law Vardan Mamikonian.[1][2] He later died about 460.[3] He was succeeded by his son Narses, who later took part in the insurrection of 482 to 484,[1] led by Vardan's nephew Vahan Mamikonian.[4]
