The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- With each of the two contemporary powers in the region, the Abbasids and Byzantines, too preoccupied to concentrate their forces on subjugating the region, and with the dissipation of several of the Armenian nakharar noble families, Ashot succeeded in asserting himself as the leading figure of a movement to dislodge the Arabs from Armenia.
- Ashot's prestige rose as both Byzantine and Arab leaders, eager to maintain a buffer state near their frontiers, courted him.
- The Abbasid Caliphate recognized Ashot as "prince of princes" in 862 and, later on, as king.
