  • Aspietes (Greek: Ἀσπιέτης, from Armenian: ասպետ, romanized: aspet, lit. 'rider, knight'), feminine form Aspietina (Ἀσπιετίνα) or Aspietissa (Ἀσπιέτισσα), was the surname of a Byzantine noble family of Armenian origin active in the 12th–15th centuries. Despite the mention of a "great and numerous lineage of the so-called Aspetianoi" by the 6th-century Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea, the later Aspietai seem to be entirely unrelated to them. The later Byzantine writers ascribed the Aspietai descent from the Arsacid royal dynasty, but Alexandra Wassiliou-Seibt points out that this was a common literary topos at the time, and that "almost all representatives of the senior Armenian nobility [..] were regarded as descendants of the Arsacids". The first known member of the Aspietai family was a general of Alexios I Komnenos, active in the early 12th century. Beginning with the 17th-century scholar Du Cange, successive historians, including Ferdinand Chalandon, Steven Runciman, and Konstantinos Varzos, have identified him with Oshin of Lampron. In 1924, however, Joseph Laurent rejected this identification, and has been followed by some modern scholars since. Most of the known members of the family served as military commanders: apart from the original Aspietes/Oshin, another member of the family fought and was killed at the Battle of Dyrrhachium in 1081, Michael Aspietes was a general under Manuel I Komnenos, Constantine Aspietes served under both Manuel I and Isaac II Angelos, Alexios Aspietes served as commander of Serres in 1195 and was proclaimed emperor in 1204, while a member of the family headed an embassy to Saladin in 1189. The family is still extensively attested in the Palaiologan period, where it still belonged to the landed nobility and intermarried with other noble houses, but none of its members managed to rise to senior offices.

  • Aspieta (em grego: Ἀσπιέτης; do armênio: ասպետ aspet, "ginete, cavaleiro"), forma feminina Aspietina (Ἀσπιετίνα) ou Aspietissa (Ἀσπιέτισσα), foi o sobrenome de uma família nobre bizantina de origem armênia ativa nos séculos XII-XV. Apesar da menção de uma "grande e numerosa linhagem dos chamados Aspetianos" pelo historiador bizantino do século VI Procópio de Cesareia, os posteriores Aspietas parecem ter sido inteiramente alheios a estes, embora alegassem serem descendentes da dinastia arsácida. O primeiro membro conhecido da família Aspieta foi um general de Aleixo I Comneno (r. 1081–1118) ativo no começo do século XII. Começando com o estudioso do século XVII Du Cange, sucessivos historiadores, incluindo , Steven Runciman e , identificaram-o com . Em 1924, contudo, rejeitou esta identificação, e foi seguido por alguns estudiosos modernos desde então. Muitos dos membros conhecidos da família serviram como comandantes militares: além do original Aspieta/Oshin, outro membro da família lutou e foi morto na batalha de Dirráquio em 1081; Miguel Aspieta foi um general sob Manuel I Comneno (r. 1043–1180) e Isaac II Ângelo (r. 1185-1195; 1203-1204); Aleixo Aspieta serviu como comandante de Serres em 1195 e foi proclamado imperador em 1204, enquanto um membro da família chefiou uma embaixada à Saladino (r. 1174–1193) em 1189.A família é ainda extensivamente atestada no período Paleólogo, onde pertenceu a nobreza latifundiária e casou com outras famílias nobres, embora nenhum de seus membros conseguiu subir a ofícios seniores.
