     King of al-Hirah Imru'u al-Qays I bar 'Amr al-Lakhmi al-Hirahi was the son of King of al-Hirah 'Amr I al-Lakhmi bar Adi al-Hirahi.3 King of al-Hirah Imru'u al-Qays I bar 'Amr al-Lakhmi al-Hirahi was the son of 'Amr bar Adi.4 He claimed to have campaigned successfully over the entire north and centre of the peninsula, as far as the border of Najran.5 "What was most striking about this inscription for Dussaud and his fellow epigraphers was not only that it pushed back the history of Mudari Arabic back almost 200 years earlier than the previous oldest inscription, which had been dated to 512 C.E.,9 but that the language was so close to the Arabic of the Qur’an. Apart from a few words, like "bar" for "ibn" (son), which are clearly Aramaic, and some dialectical forms, like "ti" for "dhi" (this) and "dh‚" for "alladhi" (which), the vocabulary and syntax does not differ noticeably from the "classical" Arabic of the sixth century C.E."2 He was the second king of the Lakhmid dynasty, an important family in northern Arabia that at that time had been allied with the Byzantines and would later move to the east (to the area around modern-day Basra) and become clients of the Sassanian Persians.2 He was the successor of King of al-Hirah 'Amr I al-Lakhmi bar Adi al-Hirahi; King of al-Hirah.4 King of al-Hirah at Mesopotamia (Iraq), Persian Empire, between 278 and 328.6 Governor of the Bedouin at Northeast Arabia between 309 and 328.5 King of al-Hirah Imru'u al-Qays I bar 'Amr al-Lakhmi al-Hirahi was given, per Muslim sources, a "governorship" by the Sasanian king Shapur II over the Bedouin of northeast Arabia, being charged with the task of restraining their incursions into Sasanian territory. Between 309 and 328.5 King of the Arabs before 328.2 Master of Asad and Madhhij before 328.7 He was the predecessor of King of al-Hirah 'Amr II ibn Imru'u al-Qays al-Hirahi; King of al-Hirah.8 King of al-Hirah Imru'u al-Qays I bar 'Amr al-Lakhmi al-Hirahi died on 7 December 328. Per the "Namara inscription." The Namara inscription was carved on a large block of basalt which had originally served as the lintel for the entrance to the tomb. It identifies the occupant of the tomb as Imru’ al-Qays, son of ‘Amr (the first Lakhmid king), calls him "king of the Arabs," and gives some information about his notable exploits during his reign. Then it gives what is perhaps the most important single piece of information on the inscription: the date of the king’s death, 7 Kaslul (December) of the year 223 in the Nabataean era of Bostra (=328 C.E.). Presumably the tomb was constructed not long after Imru’ al-Qays’s death, so this means we have a firm time frame in which to place the inscription. "This is the funerary monument of Imru’u al-Qays, son of ‘Amr, king of the Arabs; and[?] his title of honor was Master of Asad and Madhhij. And he subdued the Asad¬s, and they were overwhelmed together with their kings, and he put to flight Ma(dh)hij thereafter, and came Driving them into the gates of Najran, the city of Shammar, and he subdued Ma‘add, and he dealt gently with the nobles Of the tribes, and appointed them viceroys, and they became phylarchs for the Romans. And no king has equalled his achievements. Thereafter he died in the year 223 on the 7th day of Kaslul. Oh the good fortune of those who were his friends!"1,2 King of al-Hirah Imru'u al-Qays I bar 'Amr al-Lakhmi al-Hirahi was buried in Namara, about 60 miles southeast of Damascus and almost due east of the Sea of Galilee, southern Syria.2

     Trdat IV "the Great", King of Armenia was educated in the Roman Empire.3,4 Called Trdat III by Armenian sources. He was actually Trdat IV. Trdat III, the regicide, murderer of his brother Khosrov II, was his uncle.5 Also called Tiran Helios.6 He was born circa 284?. He was the son of Khosrow II "the Valiant", King of West Armenia.2 Trdat IV "the Great", King of Armenia escaped as an infant to Roman territory when his uncle murdered his father and acquired the Armenian throne in 287.5 He was the successor of Trdat III "the Regicide", King of West Armenia; King of West Armenia.7 Trdat IV "the Great", King of Armenia was a witness where Narseh I, Shah of Iran severely defeated by the Caesar Galerius in 297 at Armenia.7 Trdat IV "the Great", King of Armenia married, as a gesture of lengthy and close friendship and alliance with the Alans, a people closely related to the Scythians, the daughter of Alani King Ashkhadar, princess Ashkhen in 298.8 He married Ashkhen of the Alans, daughter of Kundajiq Askhkadar of the Alans, in 298.3,9,2,8,10 King of Greater Armenia between 298 and 330.11,12,4,13 Trdat IV "the Great", King of Armenia was converted by St. Gregory the Illuminator, and became the first monarch in history to impose Christianity on his people (doing so 20 years before Constantine I) in 300.14 He was a witness where Grigor Lusavoritch Pahlav, Katholikos of Armenia converted the Armenians to Christianity (who thereby regard themselves as the "first Christian Nation") in 300.15 Trdat IV "the Great", King of Armenia persecuted Christians in Armenia, in one instance killing a group of thirty seven Christian virgins who fled to Armenia to escape Roman persecution, and after one of the virgins, Hripsime, refused to marry him, in 301. He went insane following his killing of the virgins, and on his sister's advice to free Gregory, he did, and Gregory restored his health, and baptized him and his family. He declared Christianity the national religion and Armenia, making it the first Christian state. He died in 330 at Daranaghyats. Assassinated. The Persian Sassanids, once again unable to subdue Armenia by the means of arms put forth their old, infamous and treacherous act of assassination. In 330 AD the first King of the Holy Cross, as he became known, was poisoned during a feast on one of his visits of the countryside, in the province of Daranaghyats. "And he himself [Trdat] liked the solitary life as had saint Gregory. Thenceforth from time to time he did not appear among his forces, instead fasting and praying for forty days at a time. Going to him, his forces beseeched him to occupy the throne. But he did not agree to this, calling them traitors, superficially practising their piety. They swore vows and sealed decrees to practise Christianity with sanctity and to serve the king) without prevarication. And Trdat acceded to their wishes, occupied his throne, and became an example of all kinds of virtues. But becoming weary of his piety, they planned to kill him treacherously.Taking him to the hunt, they attacked him with bow and arrow, as if by accident. Seeing that he did not die from that, they gave him poison. And thus they murdered him. They snuffed out the life of this man, an individual whose enemies had been unable to hurt him due to his titan-like bravery, because he[ triumphed in every battle. What was considered impossible to accomplish by force--since the reputation of [Trdat's] bravery had spread throughout the entire world--they accomplished with treachery and so extinguished the glowing torch of their own lives. The pious and God-loving Trdatios thus died, having reigned for 56 years."3,4,8,16 He was the predecessor of Khosrow III Kotak, King of Armenia; King of Armenia.17,18,19 . Trdat the Great's body, in a silver casket, was buried in the Royal Arshakouni burial ground of Tordan.8

N. Aršakuni, daughter of Tiran, King of Armenia. Yusik I Pahlav, Katholikos of Armenia was born circa 319?. He was the son of Vhartanes Pahlav, Katholikos of Armenia. Yusik I Pahlav, Katholikos of Armenia was the successor of Vhartanes Pahlav, Katholikos of Armenia; Catholicos of Armenia.4,3 Yusik I Pahlav, Katholikos of Armenia was a witness where Tiran, King of Armenia did not rule the kingdom according to the rules of God, but with evil deeds which the blessed Yusik vigorously reprimanded.5 Yusik I Pahlav, Katholikos of Armenia was ordained to the kat'oghikosate at Caesarea, Cappadocia.6 He was raised by Tiran, son of King Xosrov of Armenia.2,5 Catholicos of Armenia between 341 and 347.1,4 He was robust and tall, and was extremely handsome and attractive, to the point that he had no equal throughout the country.7 He died in 347. "With words of priestly authority [Yusik] threatened and reproached them for impiety, adultery, homosexuality, the shedding of blood, dispossession, ravishment, hatred of the poor and numerous other sins such as these [vasn anorenut'ean porhnku'teann ew aruagitut'ean ew arenheghut'eann, zrkut'ean, yap'shtakut'ean, aghk'atatec'ut'ean ew ayloc' bazum meghac']. He himself, out of awe of the severe commandments of the Lord regarded as enemies those who perpetually transgressed the orders of Christ and broke the holy word of God. Throughout the entire course of his life he waged a war of reproach against everyone. On one of the annual feast days [Or ibrew or mi yawurc' tarekanac'], king Tiran and others of the nobility came to enter Church. But [Yusik] cried out, saying: "You are unworthy. Why have you come? Do not come inside"! Therefore they dragged him into the church, and clubbed and crushed God's chief priest, the blessed venerable lad Yusik. After beating him, they left him there, half-dead. Officiants of the court church took him from the royal Bnabegh fortress in the district of Greater Cop'k' to the village of T'ordan in Daranaghik' district. There, not many days later, he died and was placed near Gregory and his fathers."

Kirakos tells a different tale of his end. "Tiran despised Yusik and later murdered him for the following reason. After the death of the son of the great Constantine, emperor Constantius, Julian the Apostate ruled over the Romans [361-63]. He sent a tablet on which was painted the picture of satan and next to him that of Julian, in order that it be placed in the Armenian church. Tiran, out of fear of Julian, did as he was ordered. However, the blessed Yusik was opposed to this and did not allow the painting to enter the church. Instead he grabbed it from [Tiran's] hands, threw it on the ground and trampelled it with his feet, shattering it to bits. The angered Tiran ordered Yusik to be beaten to death with clubs. [Yusik] occupied the episcopal throne for six years."8,9

Died when she drank from the poisoned cup she had given her brother, Criomthann. Though she herself had filled the cup with poison, she too drank from it to avoid suspicion. Whether it was from the horror that she killed her own brother, or some other reason unknown, her children were set aside from the Irish throne in favor of their half-brother, Niall.1,4,2 She witnessed the death of Ard-rí na h'Éireann Crimthann Mór mac Fiodhaig Éoganachta in 378 at Cratloe Hill, County Clare, Ireland; Poisoned by his sister - for she tasted the drink in order to induce him to drink from it.

He was betrayed by his brother Vasak, who wrongly convinced King Arshak of treachery. Vasak's troops went to Vardan's fortress and were admitted. "They reasoned that since it was the force of [Vardan's] brother, he had come in peace. So [Vasak's troops] came and descended to the door of the tent, since [Vardan] had pitched his tent in the valley, at the foot of the fortress. Vasak's troops were all secretly armed, wearing their [regular] clothing on top. While [Vardan], naked was washing his head, many men with swords reached him, and stabbed him as he was bent over to pour water over himself. He did not even have time to arise, since they struck and killed him from the side."3 He was a witness where Vasak Mamikonean, sparapet of Armenia treacherously betrayed his brother Vardan to King Arshak, and sent troops to slay him before 367.3

     Ermanaric, king of the Getae was the only king named in the upper reaches of Gothis genealogy whose existence finds outside confirmation.4 Also called Hermanaric of the Goths. He was born circa 303. He was the son of Achiulf.3 Ermanaric, king of the Getae succeeded Geberich as king of the Goths.5 King of the Getae between 335 and 375.6,7 He subdued many warlike peoples of the north and made them obey his laws, "and some of our ancestors have justly compared him to Alexander the Great".5 He was the ruler of a vast empire in Ukraine, and although the exact limits of his territory are obscure, it evidently stretched south of the Pripet Marshes between the Don and Dniester rivers.8 According to the 6th-century historian Jordanes, the king put to death a woman named Sunilda by tying her to two wild horses and driving them apart, because her husband had treacherously deserted him. Thereupon her two brothers, Sarus and Ammius, severely wounded Ermanaric. Variations of this legend had a profound effect on medieval Germanic literature, including that of England and Scandinavia. The form of Ermanaric's name differs among authors and dialects: it occurs as Ermenrichus in Ammianus Marcellinus (whose book 31 is the chief source for the king's career), as Hermanaricus in Jordanes, as Jörmunrekr in the Norse writers, and as Eormenric in the Anglo-Saxon. He died between 370 and 376. "He committed suicide because he despaired of successfully resisting the Huns, who invaded his territories in the 370s. His kingdom was thereupon destroyed and his people became subject to the Huns for about 75 years.8 " He died in 375.1

The next day king Shapuh ordered that Vasak Mamikonean, the general sparapet of Greater Armenia, should be brought before him, and he began to threaten hirn. Now Vasak was personally small, and Shapuh, king of Iran said to hirn: "Hey, fox, it was you who obstructed things and so fatigued us. You are the one who destroyed the Aryans for so many years. Why? I will kill you with a fox's death". Vasak replied, saying: "Now that you see me as personally short, you are not [acurately] measuring, my size. For until now I was a lion to you, but now, I am a fox. While I was Vasak, I was a giant with one foot on one mountain and the other foot on another mountain. When I leaned on my right foot the mountain [under my] right would be brought to the ground. When I leaned on my left foot, the left mountain would be brought to the ground". King Shapuh of Iran then asked: "Pray tell me what were those two rnountains that you brought to the ground"? And Vasak replied: "Of the two mountains, one was you and the other was the Byzantine emperor. While God allowed, I brought you and the Byzantine emperor to the ground, since the blessing of our father Nerses was upon us, and God had not forsaken us. While we acted according to his word, and accepted his xrat, be aware, we could have given you xrat. But with our eyes open, we fell into the abyss. So, do what you want". Then the king of Iran ordered that the general of Armenia, Vasak, be flayed, that the skin be removed and filled with hay, and taken to that very Andmesh fortress (which they call Anyush) wherein king Arshak was being held.11 Then king Shapuh of Iran ordered that chains be brought and cast around the neck of Arshak, and irons about his hands and feet, and that they should take him to Andmesh, which is called Anush fortress, and keep him bound there until he died.
