Abstract
The twelve-year reign of Prince Rupen III (1175-1187) of Cilician Armenia has never been studied in detail. The author has made a thorough study of this period using extensive primary and secondary sources. He is mainly concerned with the internal struggles of the princedom and its international relations with Byzantium and the crusading and Muslim powers of the East. The following topics are discussed in the article in their chronological order Rupen's coming to power (1175); the siege of Harim by the crusaders and Rupen (1177); Salah el-Din's raid of Cilicia (1180); Rupen's marriage to Isabelle of Thorone in Jerusalem (1181); the conflict with his brother Levon (1181); the power struggle between Cilicia's Greek governor Issac Comnene, Bohemond III of Antioch and Rupen for Cilicia (1182); the conflict between Rupen and the Hethumids of Cilicia (1183); the capture and imprisonment of Rupen by Bohemond III (1185); the release of Rupen and his return to Cilicia; and his will where he advises his brother and successor Levon not to bring in Cilicia a foreign spouse so that will not usurp power over the Armenians.
