Ashot II the Iron (Armenian: Աշոտ Բ; r. 914–929) was king of the Bagratid kingdom of Armenia from 914 to 929. He was the son and successor of King Smbat I. His reign was filled with rebellions by vassals and pretenders to the throne, as well as foreign invasions, which Ashot fought off successfully, for which he is remembered by the epithet Yerkat’ (Երկաթ), or the Iron.[1]
