Prince Prosh Khaghbakian, also Pros Xalbakean or Hasan Brosh (1223-1283), was an Armenian Prince, vassal of the Zakarian princes of Armenia, and founder of the Proshyan dynasty, a family of Armenian nobility. He was a lord of the Khaghabakian or Pŕoshian House in Urkghunk‘, Boloraberd, Eghegiats‘ Dzor and Hrashk‘aberd.[2] He was the Supreme Commander (Sparapet) of the Zakarian army from 1223 to 1284, succeeding to his father Vasak.[3] He was one of the main Greater Armenian lords to execute the alliance between his suzerain the Georgian King David Ulu and the Mongol Prince Hulagu, during the Mongol conquest of Middle-East (1258-1260).[4] He apparently gained many benefits from his cooperation with the Mongols, including rising to such prominence that he could establish his own dynastic line.[5]
