Constantine I, Prince of Armenia
Constantine I or Kostandin I (1035–1040〔 / 1050–1055〔 – c. 1100〔 / February 24, 1102 – February 23, 1103〔) was the second lord of Armenian Cilicia〔 or “Lord of the Mountains”〔 (1095〔〔 – c. 1100〔 / 1102 / 1103〔). During his rule, he controlled the greater part of the regions around the Taurus Mountains, and invested much of his efforts in cultivating the lands and rebuilding the towns within his domain.〔 He provided ample provisions to the Crusaders, for example during the difficult period of the siege of Antioch in the winter of 1097.〔 He was a passionate adherent of the separated Armenian Church.〔
== Early years ==
He was the son of Roupen I;〔 his father declared the independence of Cilicia from the Byzantine Empire around 1080.〔 According to the chroniclers Matthew of Edessa and Sempat Sparapet, Constantine is also identified as being either a prince of King Gagik II, or some kind of a military commander in the monarch’s clan in exile.〔
Upon the murder of King Gagik II, Constantine’s father gathered his family and fled to the Taurus Mountains and took refuge in the fortress of Kopitar (Kosidar) situated north of Sis (today ''Kozan'' in Turkey).〔 As Roupen was growing old by 1090, his command seems to have passed entirely to Constantine; and it was the latter who in the same year conquered the strategic Cilician castle of Vahka (today ''Feke'' in Turkey).〔 The mastery of this mountain defile made possible the assessment of taxes on merchandise transported from the port of Ayas towards the central part of Asia Minor, a source of wealth to which the Roupenians owed their power.
