Adhur Gushnasp is first mentioned in 465, when he was appointed as the Шаблон:Lang ("margrave") of the province of Armenia by the King of Kings (Шаблон:Lang) Peroz I (Шаблон:Reign), thus replacing its previous Шаблон:Lang Adhur-Hormizd.Шаблон:Sfn The country was at the time dissatisfied with Zoroastrian Sasanian rule. The policies of the previous shahanshah Yazdegerd II (Шаблон:Reign) of integrating the Christian nobility into the bureaucracy by forcing them to convert to Zoroastrianism had resulted in a large-scale rebellion in 451, led by the Armenian military leader Vardan Mamikonian. Although the Sasanians defeated the rebels at the Battle of Avarayr, the impact of the rebellion was still felt, and tensions continued to grow.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In 482, a secret meeting took place between a group of Christian Armenians, who prepared to rebel under the leadership of Vahan Mamikonian, a nephew of Vardan.Шаблон:Sfn[1]

Varaz-Shapur Amatuni, who was present in the meeting, informed Adhur Gushnasp of the impending uprising, which made him abandon the Armenian capital of Dvin and leave for the fortress of Ani, where he briefly stayed for a day, and then fled to the city of Artaxata whilst being chased by the rebels.[1] They soon besieged the city, but Adhur Gushnasp managed to escape by night and reached the neighbouring province of Adurbadagan. At the same time, discord was occurring amongst the rebels, with a certain Varaz-Narseh, prince of Urts, pillaging the city of Brhnavezh.[2]Шаблон:Efn The rebels installed the aspet Sahak II Bagratuni as the new Шаблон:Lang of Armenia.Шаблон:Sfn Raising a force of 7,000 troops from Adurbadagan and its surroundings, Adhur Gushnasp returned to Armenia. He soon clashed with a force of 400 men[3] led by Vasak Mamikonian and Babgen Siwni near Akori, but was defeated and killed.Шаблон:Sfn[3]
