Who was Ashot II of Armenia?
Ashot II the Iron was an Armenian King, the son of King Smbat I. His reign was filled with rebellions by pretenders to the throne, and foreign invasions, which Ashot fought off successfully. This is how he got the epithet the Iron. In 914, Ashot II visited Constantinople to get aid from Byzantine Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus. He returned to Armenia with large aid, and crushed the Arab harassment of his lands by Yusuf. In 922 he was recognized as the ruler of Armenia by the Arabian khalif. He was married to Marie of Kachum.
