Ashot I

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ashot I Bagratuni
Reign Armenia: 862 - 977
Successor Smbat I

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 and was nicknamed 'the prince of princes'.

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. His crowning 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.
