Oshin of Lampron was an Armenian
nakharar, formerly lord of a fortress near
Gandzak, who migrated in 1075 to
Cilicia. His kinsman, Abulgharib Artsruni, governed
Taurus and
Mopsuestia in the name of the Emperor
Alexius I Comnenus. Oshin was given a hereditary fief (domain), the district of
Lampron at
Tarsus near the
Cilician Gates. His descendants founded the
House of Lampron and ruled the
Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia in the 12th century.
