Kingdom of Cilicia - Kingdom of Cilicia

Japanese: キリキア・アルメニア王国 - キリキアアルメニアおうこく
Kingdom of Cilicia - Kingdom of Cilicia
A state founded by Armenians in the Cilicia region of southeastern Asia Minor. 1080-1375. In the 10th and 11th centuries, Armenians migrated en masse to the Taurus (now Taurus) Mountains, where the Greek population had become sparse due to Arab invasions. The leader of one such group, the House of Reuben, seized all of Cilicia from the Byzantine Empire and established a new state while maintaining close ties with the countries established in the occupied territories by the Crusaders. The kingdom's heyday came during the reign of Lebon II (1187-1219), who was the first to adopt the title of king (1199). Agriculture and handicrafts developed, and the capital Sis and the port city of Ayas flourished as transit points for trade between the East and the West, giving birth to the Cilician school of painting.

アルメニア人が小アジア南東部キリキア地方に建てた国家。1080‐1375年。10~11世紀アルメニア人は,アラブ人の侵攻のためギリシア人人口が希薄になっていたタウロス(現,トロス)山脈の山中に集団移住した。このような集団の一つの指導者ルーベン家はビザンティン帝国から全キリキアを奪い,十字軍が占領地で建てた諸国と密接な関係を保ちつつ,新国家を樹立した。この王国の最盛期は初めて王号を採用(1199)したレボン2世の治世期(1187‐1219)で,農業,手工業が発展し,首都シス,港湾都市アヤスは東西交易の中継地として栄え,絵画ではキリキア派を生んだ。
