Facts and Events
Ruben I,, also Roupen I or Rupen I, (1025[1]/1035[2] – Kormogolo,[2] 1095[1][2]) was the first lord of Armenian Cilicia[1] or “Lord of the Mountains”[2] (1080[1]/1081/1082[2] – 1095[1][2]). He declared the independence of Cilicia from the Byzantine Empire, thus formally founding the beginning of Armenian rule there.[1] The Roupenian dynasty ruled Cilician Armenia until 1219.[1]
