Kingdom of Lori (Armenian: Լոռու Թագավորութուն) alternatively known as the Kingdom of Tashir-Dzoraget or Kingdom of Albania, was an Armenian kingdom formed during the breakup of Bagratuni Armenia. The kingdom encompassed territories of modern-day Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
In 979 AD Smbat II gave the province of Lori to his brother Kiurike I with the title of king. The branch went on to outlive the main Ani branch.
