Abstract
In the first decade of the 13th century, Zakare Il and Ivane I, kings of Zakarian Armenia, completed state-hierrarchy reform. It resulted in the establishment of a number of vicegerencies. Ayrarat, the second largest and the most renowned region in the kingdom, was handed to Vatche Vatchoutian I, the son of the Zakarian's army general Sargis. Alongside Ayrarat an area of some 2500 sq. km. (namely Nig, Aragatsotn and Anberd provinces) was granted to him by right of ownership.
As a viceroyal of the area, Vatche Vatchoutian I completely reconstructed the Anberd
fortress, built the Church of Saghmosavank and its gavit, the Cathedral of Hovhannavank, the Cathedral of St. Sarkis of Ushi, the Ayrarat ljevan-house, and by the help of his wife Mamakhatun the Cathedral and gavit of the Tegher monastery. He also carried out construction works in Sanahin, Makaravank, Kecharis, and Horomos. He died in the mid-1230s and was buried at the cathedral church in Hovhannavank.
