Kingdom of Tashir-Dzoraget ((アルメニア語:Տաշիր-Ձորագետի Թագավորություն) ''Tashir-Dzorageti t'agavorut'yun''), alternatively known as the Kingdom of Lori or Kiurikian Kingdom, was a medieval Armenian kingdom formed in 979 by the Kiurikian dynasty under the protectorate of the Bagratid kings of Armenia. The capital of the kingdom was Matsnaberd, currently part of modern-day Azerbaijan. It was located on the territories of modern-day northern Armenia, northwestern Azerbaijan and southern Georgia. The founder of the kingdom and the Kiurikian dynasty was king Kiurike I (also known as Gurgen I).〔 Matevosyan, Raphael I. (1976). "Տաշիր-Ձորագետը և Հայաստանի Հյուսիս-Արևմտյան Գավառները IX-XI Դարերում," (and the north-western regions of Armenia in the ninth to eleventh centuries ) in ''Հայ Ժողովրդի Պատմություն'' (of the Armenian People ), eds. Tsatur Aghayan et al. Yerevan: Armenian Academy of Sciences, vol. 3, pp. 100-05.〕 In 979 King Smbat II of Armenia granted the province of Tashir to his brother Kiurike with the title of king.〔 Movsesian, Łevond. "Histoire des rois Kurikian de Lori," trans. Frédéric Macler, ''Revue des Études Arméniennes'' 7, Pt. 2 (1927), 209ff.〕 The branch went on to outlive the main one in Ani. It became especially strong during the reign of King David I Anhoghin who succeeded his father Kiurike and ruled between 989 and 1048. David I Anhoghin conquered some territories from Emirates of Tbilisi and Ganja, and chose Samshvilde as his residence. Later on, he tried to gain independence from the Bagratid kings of Ani. However, after failing he was punished by King Gagik I. His properties were confiscated to become known as "Anhoghin" meaning "the Landless." David I was succeeded by Kiurike II who ruled between 1048 and 1089). After the fall of the Bagratid Kingdom of Armenia, Kiurike II was bestowed by the Byzantines with the title of ''Kouropalates''. Kiurike II moved the capital from Matsnaberd to Lori in 1065. In 1089, David II succeeded his father Kiurike II until 1118 when Tashir-Dzoraget became part of the Kingdom of Georgia. In 1118 the kingdom became part of Georgian kingdom. Unlike their Bagratuni relatives, the Kiurikian kings were unique in minting their own coins, with the line, "May the Lord aid Kiurike (George) the Khorapaghat (Kouropalates)," running in five lines inscribed on the reverse side.〔See Philip Grierson, "(Kiurike I or Kiurike II of Loṛi-Armenia?: A Note on Attributions )," ''American Numismatic Society Museum Notes'' 10 (1958), pp. 107–12.〕 They sponsored the construction of a number of churches and monasteries in northern Armenia, including those in Sanahin, Haghpat and Haghartsin,〔Ovannes Ghalpakhtchian and Adriano Alpago-Novello (1970), ''Sanahin'', Milan: Ares.〕 where a great many of them were interred.〔Manuk-Khaloyan, Armen, "In the Cemetery of their Ancestors: The Royal Burial Tombs of the Bagratuni Kings of Greater Armenia (890-1073/79)," ''Revue des Études Arméniennes'' 35 (2013), p. 168, note 124.〕 ==Gallery== File:Haghpat - Armenia (2935022258).jpg|Smbat II and his brother Kiurike I depicted at the entrance to Haghpat Monastery File:Akhtala Castle (3).JPG|Akhtala fortress, built by the Kiurinians at the end of the 10th century File:Lori Berd.JPG|Lori, the 2nd capital of the kingdom 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kingdom of Tashir-Dzoraget」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
