Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ashot III the Merciful (Armenian: Աշոտ Գ. Ողորմած) also known as Ashot the Gracious (952/953-977) was an Armenian king. He ruled from Ani. Armenia reached the height of its golden era during the reign of the Kings Abas I (928-951), Ashot III (952/953-977), and his sons Smbat II (X) (977-989) and Gagik I (990-1020), an era which according to Muyldermans “in regard to its brilliance and glory was unique.” Ashot III won the favour of the caliphate by defeating one of the emirs in Azerbaijan who had revolted against Baghdad and attacked Armenia. During the war between the Byzantine emperor John Tzimiskes and the Arabs, Armenia did its best to remain neutral and forced the two battling parties to respect the boundaries of its country. The Byzantine army began to march across the plain of Moush, thinking to strike the decisive blow against the Arabs from Armenia, but when they met with the 30,000 strong army of Ashot III, they altered their plan and left Armenia.
