Toros I[1] (Armenian: Թորոս Ա), also Thoros I,[2][3] (unknown[citation needed] – 1129[1] / February 17, 1129 – February 16, 1130[citation needed]) was the third lord of Armenian Cilicia[1] (c. 1100[1] / 1102 / 1103[citation needed] – 1129[1] / 1130[citation needed]).
His alliance with the leaders of the First Crusade helped him rule his feudal holdings with commanding authority.[1] Toros ejected the Byzantine garrisons from the fortifications at Anazarbus and Sis, making the latter his capital.[4] He was plagued by the nomadic Turks who were harassing him from the north but were driven back.[1]
He avenged the death of King Gagik II by killing his assassins.[1] This act of revenge was often used by chroniclers of the 12th century as direct evidence connecting the Roupenians to the Bagratid lineage.[1]
During his time he bestowed favors and gave gifts and money to many monasteries for their decoration and adornment, in particular those of Drazark (Trassarg) and Mashgevar.[1]
