ruben ii , prince of armenia

ruben ii -lrb- -rrb- , also roupen ii or rupen ii , -lrb- c. 1165 -- 1170 -rrb- was the seventh lord of armenian cilicia or `` lord of the mountains '' -lrb- 1169 -- 1170 -rrb- .
roupen was the son of thoros ii , lord of armenian cilicia , by his second wife -lrb- and great niece -rrb- whose name is unknown .
thoros ii abdicated in favour of his young son roupen in 1169 , and placed roupen under the guardianship of the regent thomas -lrb- thomas was the child 's maternal grandfather -rrb- .
however , thoros ii 's brother , mleh disputed the succession ; mleh had fled to nur ed-din -lrb- the emir of aleppo -rrb- and become moslim after quarreling with thoros ii and attempting to assassinate him .
mleh refused an amicable settlement with regent thomas regarding the succession to the leadership of cilicia and invaded the country with a force provided by nur ed-din .
fearing for roupen 's life , thomas entrusted the young child into the care of the patriarch nerses iv shnorhali in hromkla -lrb- today `` rumkale '' in turkey -rrb- and fled to antioch .
this measure of caution , however , did not save the life of the young roupen , who was followed by his uncle 's men and murdered at hromgla .
