Constantine Of Gargar
Constantine of Gargar was an Armenian chieftain who ruled the region around Gargar (modern Gerger) in the late eleventh and early twelfth century. Biography Origins Constantine appears as one of the Armenian leaders who took control of parts of the realm of Philaretos Brachamios after his death. It seems that Constantine had one brother called Dawt'ouk (mentioned in the chronicles as Taphnuz, Taftoc or Tabtoug). Interaction with the Franks In February 1098, Constantine accompanied Baldwin of Boulogne, who had recently arrived in Edessa to protect the townspeople, on a campaign against Balduk of Samosata. He next appears as one of the conspirators who brought down Thoros and according to Albert of Aachen he was the one who suggested to put Baldwin in Thoros' place. After the coup, Constantine was closely associated with Baldwin and Gérard Dédéyan suggested that it was the daughter of his brother Dawt'ouk, Arda, that Baldwin married at some point after that.

Baldwin I, also known as Baldwin of Boulogne (1060s – 2April 1118), was the first count of Edessa from 1098 to 1100, and king of Jerusalem from 1100 to his death in 1118. He was the youngest son of Eustace II, Count of Boulogne, and Ida of Lorraine and married a Norman noblewoman, Godehilde of Tosny. He received the County of Verdun in 1096, but he soon joined the crusader army of his brother Godfrey of Bouillon and became one of the most successful commanders of the First Crusade. While the main crusader army was marching across Asia Minor in 1097, Baldwin and the Norman Tancred launched a separate expedition against Cilicia. Tancred tried to capture Tarsus in September, but Baldwin forced him to leave it, which gave rise to an enduring conflict between them. Baldwin seized important fortresses in the lands to the west of the Euphrates with the assistance of local Armenians. Thoros of Edessa invited him to come to Edessa to fight against the Seljuks.

Arda Of Armenia
Arda ( hy, Արդա; died after 1116) was the queen of Jerusalem as the 2nd spouse of King Baldwin I of Jerusalem. She was the first Queen consort of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, as Baldwin's brother and predecessor Godfrey of Bouillon was unmarried. Life Her name is unrecorded in contemporary sources, but since the 17th century she has been traditionally called Arda. She was the daughter of a minor Armenian noble named Thathoul (or Thoros), lord of Marash. Baldwin married her in 1097 after the death of his first wife, Godehilde, who had travelled with him on the First Crusade. Thoros promised 60,000 ''bezants'' as a dowry. This was a politically convenient marriage, as Baldwin was the first Count of Edessa, a crusader state carved out of Armenian territory in Mesopotamia. Baldwin succeeded his brother as King of Jerusalem in 1100, but Arda did not immediately accompany him south; she travelled by sea and arrived probably in 1101. In 1105 Baldwin had the marriage annulled, supposed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
