Thoros I of Armenia : ウィキペディア英語版
Thoros I, Prince of Armenia

Toros I ((アルメニア語:Թորոս Ա)), also Thoros I, (unknown〔 – 1129〔 / February 17, 1129 – February 16, 1130〔) was the third lord of Armenian Cilicia〔 or “Lord of the Mountains”〔 (c. 1100〔 / 1102 / 1103〔 – 1129〔 / 1130〔).
His alliance with the leaders of the First Crusade helped him rule his feudal holdings with commanding authority.〔 Toros ejected the small Byzantine garrisons from Sis (today ''Kozan'' in Turkey) and Anazarbus, and he established his capital at Sis.〔 He was plagued by the nomadic Turks who were harassing him from the north but were driven back.〔
He avenged the death of King Gagik II by killing his assassins.〔 This act of revenge was often used by chroniclers of the 12th century as direct evidence connecting the Roupenians to the Bagratid lineage.〔
During his time he bestowed favors and gave gifts and money to many monasteries for their decoration and adornment, in particular those of Drazark (Trassarg) and Mashgevar.〔
== His life ==
Toros was the elder son of Constantine I, lord of Armenian Cilicia.〔 It is likely that his mother was the great-granddaughter of Bardas Phokas.〔
Toros succeeded his father and ruled from the fortresses of Vahka (today ''Feke'' in Turkey) and Pardzepert (today ''Andırın'' in Turkey).〔 In 1107,〔 encouraged by Tancred, Prince of Antioch, Toros followed the course of the Pyramus River (today the river ''Ceyhan'' in Turkey), and seized the stronghold of Anazarbus (a place which had been considered impregnable).〔 The city of Sis was the next to fall into the hands of Toros.〔 He commemorated his victories by constructing a church in Anazarbus, which he consecrated to St Zoravark, to house the ancestral treasures of King Gagik II.〔
In 1108, Daphar, the leader of the nomadic Turks, invadeed the province of Hasamansur and ravaged the lands around Melitene (today ''Malataya'' in Turkey).〔 Toros called for the help of Basilius the Crafty, an Armenian noble who governed possessions in the vicinity of Marash (today ''Kahramanmaraş'' in Turkey) and Kesoun.〔 Basilius and his allies attacked Daphar and achieved a resounding victory near the castle of Harthan.〔 Basilius nobly shared with Toros the spoils which were taken from the Turks.〔
In 1111, Sultan Malik Shah of Iconium entered Armenian territories, and Toros’s two commanders were killed in battle.〔 However, his brother, Levon launched a savage attack against the Turks and drove them into retreat.〔
Toros, who had relentlessly pursued the murderers of King Gagik II, laid an ambush for them at their castle, Cyzistra (Kizistra) in 1112.〔 At an opportune time, his infantry surprised the garrison and occupied the castle, plundered it then took blood revenge by killing all its inhabitants.〔 The three brothers (the assassins of Gagik II) were taken captive and forced to produce Gagik’s kingly sword and his royal apparel taken at the time of the murder.〔 One of the brothers was beaten to death by Toros who justified his brutal action by exclaiming that such monsters did not deserve to perish by the quick plunge of a dagger.〔
In 1114, Vasil Dgha (the heir of Basilius the Crafty) invited Il-Bursuqi (the governor of Mosul) to deliver the Armenians from the Franks (the Crusaders).〔 The Franks advanced to punish Vasil Dgha, but they were unable to take his fortress capital at Raban.〔 Nevertheless, he thought it wise to seek alliance with Toros.〔 Toros, after inviting him to come to discuss a marriage alliance, imprisoned him and sold him to Count Baldwin II of Edessa in 1116.〔 Having thus annexed Raban, Baldwin II of Edessa decided to suppress the remaining Armenian principalities in the Euphrates valley; thus Toros soon found himself the only independent Armenian potentate that remained.〔
In 1118, Toros sent a contingent of troops under the command of his brother Levon to help Prince Roger of Antioch in the capture of Azaz (today ''A'zāz'' in Syria).〔
Toros was buried in the monastery of Drazark.〔
