Armenian Revolt (850–855)
Armenian uprising against the Abbasid authority in 850–855
The Armenian Revolt was an armed rebellion fought in 850–855 by Armenian nobility against Abbasid authority over Arminiya following a taxation dispute. The main leading families were the Bagratuni of Taron and Artsruni of Vaspurakan. It was ultimately crushed by the Turkic general Bugha al-Kabir in the service of caliph al-Mutawakkil, helped by disagreements and rivalry among the Armenian nobility.
