[27210] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cousin/html/p366.htm provides further ancestry and offers: "The Bagratuni dynasty divided in the 9th century into two branches,one which reigned in Armenia, starting with Ashot I in 885, and the other of which reigned in Iberia, starting with Adarnese II in 888. The Armenian branch ceded Armenia to the Byzantine Empire in 1045, while Iberia united with Abkhazeti (Abkhazia) and became known as Georgia, taking its name from King Giorgi I (1014-1027). Asot I 'the Great', King of Armenia was son of Smbat Ablabas Bagratuni. He was viewed as greater than all of his predecessors, since after holding the sparapetut'iwn, he was prince of princes and then received crowns from two kings, Ishmaelite and Byzantine. He embellished the churches of Armenia with great ornaments and brightness [during] thirty-two years as prince of princes, and five years as king of Armenia. He was a God-fearing, benevolent man, an adorner of the Church, and a lover of the services of God. He was born circa 815. He was the son of Smbat VIII Ablabas, sparapet of Armenia and Hripsime (?) . He married Kotramidé (?) . Prince of Princes in Armenia, Transcaucasia, between 853 and 884. He was recognized by the court at Baghdad as prince of princes, a measure that did not fail to provoke a violent reaction on the part of the semiautonomous Arab emirates that had been established in the very heart of Armenia in 861. He was appointed 'ishkhan of ishkhans' (prince of princes) by the Caliph in 862. He settled, toward the end of the 9th century, at Artanuji in Tao (southwestern Georgia), Transcaucasia. He elected to be king of Armenia and recognized as such by both the caliph and the Byzantine emperor (Basil I, himself of probably Armenian origin) in 885. He profited from the weakness of the Byzantine emperors and the Arab caliphs and set himself up as hereditary prince in Iberia. He was sent a crown by the Caliph and recognized as shahnshah, king of kings of the Armenians, and Basil I, emperor of Byzantians, made haste to do the same in 885. 1st King of Armenia in the Caliphate, Transcaucasia, between 885 and 890. He died in 890. 'Amir Xalil [Halid ibn Yazid ibn Mazyad ash-Shaibani] came and killed Ashot, and was himself slain in Jawaxet'. Kirakos on the other hand says 'he passed to Christ, dying peacefully, possessing the correct doctrine.'" Cf. http://mauriceboddy.org.uk/Armenia.htm and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashot_I_of_Armenia.
