Musel Mamikonian

Musel Mamikonian, also spelled Mushegh was the Sparapet of Armenia under Pap and then, after Pap was killed, was the regent for his nephew Varazdat.

While in the service of Pap, Musel was a key figure in defeating the invading Persian forces. However, since he did not slay the Persian shah when offered the opportunity, he was distrusted by the Armenian royal house.
