In 572,
Vardan III Mamikonian revolted against the
marzban Chihor-Vishnasp and killed him.
Khosrau I then sent Golon Mihran at the head of an army of twenty thousand men to recapture Armenia, but the latter was defeated in
Taron by Vardan Mamikonian, who captured his war elephants as war booty. After his defeat, he advanced towards
Caucasian Iberia, where he was once again defeated. He then invaded Southern Armenia at the head of another army of twenty thousand men along with some war elephants with "the order to exterminate the population of Armenia, to destroy, to kill, to raze the land without mercy." He captured the city of
Angl in
Bagrevand, what happened after is unknown. ==Descendants==
