Abstract

The present paper discusses the reign of the Rubenid lord of Armenian Cilicia, Mleh (1170–1175), and examines his relations with the two great powers of the period, the Byzantine Empire and the Zengids under Nūr al-Dīn (1146–1174). Through examination of the contemporary sources of the period, the following conclusions may be drawn: Firstly, Manuel (1143–1180) did not send an expeditionary force against Mleh. On the contrary, Mleh faced and defeated the local Byzantine garrisons. Secondly, the Crusaders waged a campaign against Mleh in 1173, which was partially successful as it forced the Rubenid lord to recognize the suzerainty of the king of Jerusalem, albeit temporarily. Thirdly, a consequence of the Crusader success was the Byzantine re-conquest of the cities of the Cilician Plain. Finally, Mleh’s status as a client of Nur al-Din does not relate to his religious identity. The sources make it clear that he remained a Christian.

Mleh案例(1170-1175):Nūr al- d n和Manuel I Komnenos之间的西里西亚亚美尼亚

本文讨论了亚美尼亚西里西亚的鲁本尼德王朝的统治者Mleh(1170-1175)的统治，并考察了他与当时的两个大国——拜占庭帝国和Nūr al- d n(1146-1174)统治下的曾吉德帝国的关系。通过对这一时期的当代资料的研究，可以得出以下结论:首先，曼努埃尔(1143-1180)并没有派遣远征军进攻Mleh。相反，Mleh面对并击败了当地的拜占庭驻军。其次，十字军在1173年发动了一场针对Mleh的战役，这场战役取得了部分成功，因为它迫使鲁本王朝的领主承认了耶路撒冷国王的宗主权，尽管只是暂时的。第三，十字军胜利的一个后果是拜占庭重新征服了西利西亚平原的城市。最后，Mleh作为Nur al-Din客户的身份与他的宗教身份无关。消息来源清楚地表明，他仍然是一名基督徒。

期刊介绍： Medieval Encounters promotes discussion and dialogue accross cultural, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries on the interactions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim cultures during the period from the fourth through to the sixteenth century C.E. Culture is defined in its widest form to include art, all manner of history, languages, literature, medicine, music, philosophy, religion and science. The geographic limits of inquiry will be bounded only by the limits in which the traditions interacted. Confluence, too, will be construed in its widest form to permit exploration of more indirect interactions and influences and to permit examination of important subjects on a comparative basis.
