Years: 1097 - 1097
September
Baldwin marries Arda, the daughter of a minor Armenian noble named Thoros of Marash, and acts as an ambassador between the crusaders and Armenians.
(Her name is unrecorded in contemporary sources, but since the seventeenth century she has been traditionally called Arda.)
Thoros promises sixty thousand bezants as a dowry.
This is a politically convenient marriage, as Baldwin will soon become the first Count of Edessa, a crusader state carved out of Armenian territory in Mesopotamia.
