 | | The barons Constantine I (10921100), Thoros I (110029), and Levon I (112939) enlarged their domains at the expense of the Byzantines, and by 1132 Vahka, Sis, Anazarbus, Mamistra, Adana, and Tarsus were under Rubenid rule. |
 | | Levon I (the Great; 11991219), an ally of the German emperor Frederick I (Frederick Barbarossa), received the royal crown from Frederick's son Henry VI and Pope Celestine III and was crowned king of Armenia in Tarsus in 1199 by the cardinal Conrad von Wittelsbach. |
 | | The title king of Armenia passed to the kings of Cyprus and thence to the Venetians and was later claimed by the house of Savoy, but from the end of the 14th century the history of Armenia as separate states is replaced by the history of Armenians under foreign domination. |
