How a kingdom of exiles survived in the Taurus Mountains
In short: Explore how Armenian refugees established a resilient kingdom in modern-day south-central Turkey. This documentary traces their journey from displacement to sovereignty during the violent upheavals of the late 11th century.
Between 1080 and 1375, the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia served as a sanctuary for exiles fleeing the Armenian Plateau. Situated within the Taurus Mountains, this kingdom endured for nearly three centuries amidst a period of intense regional conflict.
The narrative provides context on how these mountain lords navigated the geopolitical maelstrom of the late 1000s to build a lasting political entity.
