| Summary | "Vahram's Chronicle of the Armenian Kingdom in Cilicia during the Time of the Crusades" is a historical account translated by Charles Fried. Neumann, likely written in the early 19th century. The work provides an essential glimpse into the history of the Armenian kingdom in Cilicia during the Crusades, shedding light on its rulers and their struggles against their adversaries. At its core, the chronicle narrates the political and military events surrounding the Armenian leadership and their interactions with neighboring empires and the Crusaders. The opening of the chronicle introduces Vahram, a priest and secretary to King Leon III, who explains his mission to supplement the earlier accounts of Armenian history written in verse by Patriarch Nerses. Vahram acknowledges his own perceived shortcomings as a writer but is motivated by a sense of duty to document the past. He begins recounting the tumultuous events faced by the Armenians, including the rise of Turkish tribes and the oppressive circumstances that led many Armenians to abandon their homeland. The chronicle unfolds by detailing the lineage and achievements of Armenian kings, their alliances with Crusader forces, and the relentless wars against foreign foes, setting the stage for a rich exploration of the Armenian kingdom's resilience amidst a backdrop of conflict and change.
