Ruben I, (Armenian: Ռուբեն Ա;[a] 1025/1035[citation needed]–1095) was the first lord of Armenian Cilicia from c. 1081[citation needed] until his death. He declared the independence of Cilicia from the Byzantine Empire, thus formally founding the beginning of Armenian rule there. The Rubenid dynasty ruled Cilician Armenia until 1219.
