  Birth
  
  Vardan Mamikonian was born in 393 AD to Hamazasp Mamikonian (in Armenian ???????? ??????????) and to Sahakanoush (in Armenian ??????????), the daughter of Saint Sahak the Great and descendant of the Arsacid Kings and Saint Gregory the Illuminator.
  
  Life
  
  After Vardan became Sparapet (army leader) in 432, the Persians summoned him to Ctesiphon. Upon his return home in 450, Vardan repudiated the Persian religion and instigated an Armenian rebellion against their Sassanian overlords.
  
  Vardan died in the doomed Battle of Avarayr on the Avarayr Plain in Vaspurakan. The also known as the Battle of Vartanantz, was fought on May 26, 451 AD on the Avarayr Plain in Vaspurakan, between the Armenian Army under Saint Vardan and the Sassanid (Persian) rulers. The Persians were victorious on the battlefield itself, and Vardan was killed in battle.
  
  After death
  
  After his death, the insurrection continued led by Vahan Mamikonian, the son of Vartan's brother, resulting in the restoration of Armenian autonomy with the Nvarsak Treaty (484), thus guaranteeing the survival of Armenian statehood in later centuries.
  
  Family
  
  Vardan Mamikonian is the father of Vardeni Mamikonian (known also as (Armenian: ????????, Georgian: ????????) transliterated as Shushanik or Shoushanig), born around 409 AD. She married Varsken of Georgia. When her husband, a prominent Georgian feudal lord (pitiakhsh) Varsken took a pro-Persian position renouncing Christianity and adopting Zoroastrianism, he tried to force his wife Shushanik to convert, but she refused vehemently to submit to his orders to abandon her Christian faith and was put to death in 475 AD on Varsken's orders. Shushanik has been canonized by the Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church and is venerated by the Armenian Apostolic Church. Known as Saint Shushanik, her feast day is celebrated on October 17.
