Bagratid Kingdom of Armeniaball was an
Armenian Kingdomball in the middle ages.
History[edit | edit source]
Bagratid Armeniaball had been an Armenian provinceball named Arminiyaball under
Umayyadball's rule for many years until it was taken over by
Abbasidball, who decided to give it independence in the 880's so that it wouldn't be tempted to join
Byzantineball. This was the first time an
Armeniaball had independence since
Ancient Armeniaball got took over, more than 400 years before.
Bagratid Armeniaball got split up over time because its provinceballs wanted independence, and had fights with
Vaspurakanball (formerly of its clay, but also
Armenian).
Byzantineball eyed the fighting hungrily, and one by one took over parts of
Bagratid Armeniaball that broke away. In 1045 kebabs were beginning to invade from the north, and when
Bagratid Armeniaball went to ask
Byzantineball for help, it instead killed and anschlussed
Bagratid Armeniaball, seizing
Aniball. And then it neglected to defend
Bagratid Armeniaball's clay, allowing for
Seljukball to invade, thus eventually allowing kebab to take over Anatolia. They destroyed the capital
Aniball, which lies in ruins to this day.
Its relatives Ciliciaball and
Hamamshenball fled the kebab invasion and lived on for a few hundred more years. It was also survived by three of its breakaway provinces until the 1200's;
Kingdom of Syunikball,
Kingdom of Loriball, and
Kingdom of Artsakhball.
