Ashot I the Great Bagratid roi d'Arménie

  Algemene notities:

Ashot I the Great (Ashot I Kurapalate) was the first Bagratid King, the founder of the Royal dynasty. He was recognized as prince of princes by the court at Baghdad in 861, which provoked war with local Arab emirs. Ashot won the war, and was recognized as King of the Armenians by Baghdad in 885. Recognition from Constantinople followed in 886. The Armenian Bagratids built as their capital the city of Ani, now famous for its ruins. They kept power by playing off the competition between Byzantium and the Arabs. Their rule ended in 1045 with the conquest of Ani by the Byzantines. The Rubenids, believed to be a branch of the Bagratids, later took the throne of an Armenian Kingdom in Cilicia. http://encycl.opentopia.com/term/Bagratids

Ashot I Bagratuni (???? ???) was an Armenian prince, with Ashot II, oversaw Armenia's second golden age (862–977). He was born to Smbat the Confessor.

His family, the Bagratunis, was one of the most powerful in the kingdom along with the Artsruni. Both families were struggling for power through warfare against Arab invaders. He was recognized by the Abbasid Caliph as Prince of Princes of Armenia in 862. His later crowning as King of Armenia was consented to by Abbasid Caliph al-Mu'tamid in 885, a move to prevent intrusion into the Armenian territory by Basil I Byzantine emperor, an Armenian. He was succeeded by his son, Smbat I. He reigned for five years until 890 and was married to Katranide.
