Ashot II the Iron (Ashot Yerkat) (ruled 914–928) was an Armenian King the son of King Smbat I. His reign was filled with rebellions by pretenders to the throne and foreign invasions which Ashot fought off successfully. This is how he got the epithet the Iron. In 914 Ashot II visited Constantinople to get aid from Byzantine Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus. He returned to Armenia with large aid and crushed the Arab harassment of his lands by Yusuf.
