Ruben I of Armenia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruben I of Armenia (also Rhupen or Roupen) (Armenia[1], 1025–1095) [1] was the Lord of Gobidar and Goromosol, and was the first to declare Cilician Armenia to be independent when in 1080 he launched a rebellion against the Byzantine Empire and seized the fortress of Partzerpert. Ruben was likely a member of Bagratuni Dynasty that had ruled there until the fall of Ani in 1045.[2] He was maybe a son of Gagik II, the last King of Ani, or Prince John-Smbat, a son of Ruben, Governor of Larisse in 1025, and a grandson of Prince Taros, fl 1000, brother of Smbat II (X) and Gagik I, Kings of Armenia (of Ani), sons of Ashot III [2] [3] [4].

Ruben died in 1095 and was buried at the monastery of Castalon. His son Constantine I of Armenia succeeded him.
