• Notes

  Prince of Armenia. Also called Ashot Masker, meaning "meat-eater," reputedly for his refusal to refrain from eating meat during Lent. "[A]n Armenian prince from the Bagratid family. A fugitive from the failed uprising in 775 against Arab rule in Armenia, where his father was killed, over the next decades he gradually expanded his domains and established a predominant role for himself in the country's affairs, becoming recognized by the Abbasid Caliphate as presiding prince of Armenia from 806 until his death in 826."
