Just an interesting fact, General Pyotr Bagration ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyotr_Bagration ) was one of the heroes of Napoleonic Wars.

He was also from Bagratid dynasty that ruled the city of Ani.



Yup, Bagratunis were among the longest reigning dynasties in the region (in all of Europe & Middle East, AFAIK). The last name still pops up even today, in various dialectal forms. Like this Lebanese-Armenian politician: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karim_Pakradouni

Oh, and this dude: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prince-ioane-bagrationi-mukhrane...


Also a major character in Tolstoy's novel War and Peace!
