Zarmandukht

[3] She was regent of Armenia during the minority of her sons, co-rulers Arsaces (Arshak) III and Vologases (Vagharshak) II, who ruled from 378 to 386/387.

For Zarmandukht to have married a King of Armenia, she must have been a noblewoman of some social status and may have come from a family of some aristocratic and political influence.

Varasdates was a young man highly reputed for his mental and physical gifts and had lived in Rome for an unknown period of time.

[13][14] Manuel had given Zarmandukht the title of queen and she received the highest honors in Armenia due to her promoted status.

This included a crown on a mantle to a royal standard to Zarmandukht[17] and a body of cavalry commanded by Suren Marzban.
